We love nettle!! My Dad was a dairyman, so I grew up on various farms in the central valley of California and Urtigas (Portuguese for nettles) we're everywhere! Our last few years in California, we moved to the foothills, Tuolumne, and started learning more about Nourishing Traditions and natural healing. Since then, I try to make nettle tea several times a week to ease my daughter's allergies. Thanks for the in depth article!
