Nettles are excellent for Sinus infections- chronic or otherwise. Many people find relief from Sinusitis and allergies like hay fever. I find that Nettles can be especially helpful during and at the end of a cold when the sinuses are inflamed.
Arthritis: For centuries people have used nettles for painful arthritis, and even grab handfuls of the fresh herb and slap it on the painful areas to reduce the arthritic pain. Nettles can also be taken in Tincture form for the treatment of Arthritis pain.
Eczema: Nettles have naturally occurring anti-inflammatory and astringent properties that make it great for treating skin ailments including itchy, dry and inflamed skin. An infusion of Dried Nettles in Avocado oil can greatly reduce these symptoms. If Eczema is caused by an allergy, drinking an infusion made from Nettles can reduce these symptoms as well.
