We've partnered with Mother Nature, to bring you only the BEST she has to offer!
When it comes to organic tinctures and herbal extracts, quality is essential. Although we appreciate the ancient folklore methods for organic Nettle extract preparations (soaking the herbs in alcohol for long periods of time), as well as percolation methods, they can fall short of professional lab extractions. As shown in our video, our Nettle tinctures are professionally prepared in a lab setting using the soxhlet extractor method.
Soxhlet extraction is a type of atmospheric liquid extraction, utilizing temperature and low pressures (ambient pressure), for the selected extract.
Soxhlet extraction is a professional, conventional technique, providing the highest recovery of valuable plant material.
Preferred by some, you can use the product directly from the dropper, or, if you find that to be a bit overwhelming (which many do) simply mix in with your coffee, teas, smoothies or water.
NOTE: Excessive squeezing of the dropper ball is not necessary. When the dropper is squeezed once, it will only pull up a 1ml serving into the glass dropper. That is how servings are measured. 1 Squeeze = 1ml
Nettle Extract: 1-5 Ratio
Other Ingredients: Alcohol 35-40%, Water
No Fillers, Non GMO, Gluten Free
Average uses per ounce: 15-30
Important notes concerning tinctures - Tincture ratios can be confusing!
A 1-5 ratio is standard for mushrooms and herbs. There are times when lower menstruum to herb ratios can be beneficial, although many times it is counter productive, and unfortunately it is being used as a marketing tactic. The standard 1-5 higher alcohol ratios have stood the test of time and are usually needed to properly extract the herb. The alcohol can only hold so much material before it is saturated. At the saturation point, you need more alcohol to continue pulling out the plant material . So in short, lower ratios will not always mean a superior product.
A little bit about the amazing Stinging Nettle herb and it's many uses -
Foraged in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. No smog, no pollution and rich, nutrient filled soil provide the perfect environment for harvesting all natural, non GMO, wild herbs.
Stinging Nettle Herb is native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa, & western North America. The plant has now been naturalized nearly worldwide. Five of the Six species of Nettle will cause intense stings when the leaves or stems are touched, grabbed or even just brushed up against. The intense stinging/burning sensation normally lasts only 15 minutes or so and is caused by the plant Trichomes which are small, hollow needles easily penetrating human skin. Interestingly, once the plant is dried, boiled or cooked, the plant can no longer sting and is used as a food source as well as a time tested herb.
Stinging Nettles have a flavor of spinach with a slight taste of cucumber.
Whether using Stinging Nettle Powder, Nettle Herbal Tinctures, Nettle Extract, salves, or the fresh nettle leaf, this is a plant with a long and respected history that should be available in everyone's pantry.
