Benefits of Nettle Infusion

You may ask, "How can nettle infusion help me with getting pregnant?"

It is reputed to have more chlorophyll than any other herb. Vitamins A, C, D and K, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, iron and sulphur are particularly abundant. The infusion is a dark green color approaching black. The taste is deep and rich.

Women who drink stinging nettle infusion daily and eat cooked leafy greens as well as lettuce salads are getting the abundant folic acid, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals needed to create a healthy baby. Drinking two to four cups per day is best, but even one cup per day will help energize and nourish your whole body.

I try to drink one cup daily, especially when I know I need an extra boost of nutrition. When I was trying to conceive I drank one and sometimes two cups per day. I also drank it from time to time during pregnancy, which is perfectly safe. It is great to drink postpartum also to help nourish your post-pregnancy body back to your normal self and also to increase milk flow for those who are breastfeeding.

I like my infusion heated with a little honey. (YUM! I think I'll go fix a cup right now!) Try it and let me know what you think.

Here is a great Stinging Nettle Extract in capsule form if you don't want to drink the infusion.
