Helps relieve symptoms of respiratory allergies and as a nutritive tonic.

Description

Nettle tincture is used in the treatment of seasonal allergies and allergic rhinitis. It has anti-allergic and antihistaminic effects and modulates the immune system response. It helps to slow down the secretion of chemical mediators responsible for the allergic reaction. Nettle therefore reduces allergy symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, congestion and runny nose. As a preventive measure, start using nettle a few weeks before the allergy season begins, to promote a healthy body response and significantly reduce symptoms. As a treatment, it is used in repeated doses to alleviate allergy symptoms already present. Nettle strengthens the body and improves energy. It is a nutritive tonic that supports the whole organism. In Germany, it is recognized as a complementary therapy in the treatment of rheumatism. Nettle reduces the intensity of symptoms associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It seems to have a protective effect on cartilage by inhibiting the cytokines responsible for the degradation of collagen. Urtica dioica has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and is used in the treatment of gout.
