Clef Des Champs Immuno Nettle Tincture (Organic) - 50ml

NETTLE TINCTURE FOR ALLERGIES

Mode Of Action

Nettle is used to treat seasonal allergies and allergic rhinitis. It is an antihistamine and antiallergy and it modulates the immune response. It slows the secretion of chemical mediators responsible for allergic reactions. Nettle therefore reduces allergy symptoms such as sneezing, teary eyes, nasal congestion and runny nose. In prevention, start using nettle a few weeks before allergy season to promote the body’s healthy response and significantly reduce symptoms. As a treatment, use repeated doses to reduce allergy symptoms once present.

Nettle strengthens the body and increases energy. It is a nourishing tonic that supports the entire organism. In Germany, it is recognized as a complementary therapy in the treatment of rheumatism. Nettle reduces symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It seems to protect cartilage by inhibiting cytokines that degrade collagen fibres. Urtica dioica has antiinflammatory and analgesic properties and is used in the treatment of gout.

The main constituents of nettle are amines (serotonin, histamine, choline), flavonoids (isoquercetin, rutin, kaempferol, quercetin), minerals (Mg, Ca, Fe, Si, P, K), vitamins (A, B, K), acids (silicic, formic, caffeic acid derivatives), mucilage, coumarin, tannins, chlorophyll, acetylcholine, sitosterol and glycoproteins.

A mild diuretic, nettle is used in the treatment of urinary infections, along with medicinal herbs that have a more specific action. It helps stabilize blood sugar, blood lipids and blood pressure. Nettle tincture is a powerful antioxidant that offers protection against free radicals and the peroxidation of lipids.

History

Originally from Eurasia, nettle has spread to almost the entire globe, including North America. It has been used for decades as a fibre, food and medicinal herb. The use of nettle as a vegetable and a traditional remedy is mentioned in the writings of Hippocrates (460-370 AC). The physicians of Ancient Greece (Dioscorides, Galen and others) used it as a diuretic and a laxative and to treat troubles of the spleen. In the 17th Century, Culpeper recommended boiled nettle or nettle juice for respiratory troubles, to increase the production of urine and to stop bleeding. The First Nations of North America used nettle to treat rheumatism. In traditional African medicine, it was used for excessive menstrual bleeding and internal hemorrhage. It was inhaled as a powder to stop nose bleeds. It is now recognized in certain countries as a complementary therapy for arthritis.
