Every spring, we come across it without really paying it any attention. It spreads along the edges of gardens, in paths, sometimes even between two paving stones. Many people mistake it for an ordinary weed and get rid of it immediately… A common mistake. Because this shy-looking purple plant, which some call purple dead-nettle (Lamium purpureum), actually hides incredible potential. It’s a bit like passing by a real plant treasure without noticing it. Doubtful? Wait until you discover what this little plant can do for your health, your plate… and even your bees.
Why Purple Nettle Deserves a Place in Your Daily Life
An unexpected health ally
If you’re looking for a boost to cleanse your body this spring, purple nettle is a natural choice. As a tea, it supports liver and kidney function, helping the body eliminate toxins —like a natural spring cleanse .
It’s also a natural source of antioxidants, vitamin C, iron, zinc, and flavonoids. A perfect cocktail to strengthen your immune system, especially in winter or during seasonal changes.
Do you suffer from joint pain, menstrual cramps, or headaches? Purple nettle has gentle yet effective anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Applied as a poultice or consumed as an infusion, it provides gentle relief.
