14. Excellent Skin Care
Remember how we mentioned that stinging nettle is good for skin health earlier? We weren’t exaggerating. It’s actually one of the greatest natural treatments for your skin due to the composition of stinging nettle. You might be wondering how it can be good for your skin when this article started out with a warning that the hairs on the leaves can cause irritation if you come into contact with it.
Well, despite the irony, it’s very true that stinging nettle can work wonders for your skin. It’s even the antidote to the side effects it may cause. If your skin is irritated by the nettle hairs then just grind the leaves then proceed to boil them in water then voila, you have the cure. It’s also great for more common problems such as the nicks you get while shaving as well as more general skin itchiness.
