Nettle Root
KES 500.00
Description
Nettle root (Urtica dioica root) is the underground part of the stinging nettle plant, a powerful botanical long used in traditional medicine. While nettle leaves are commonly known for their detoxifying benefits, the root is especially prized for its ability to support male health and urinary function.
One of the primary uses of nettle root is in promoting prostate health, particularly in men over the age of 40. It is commonly used to help manage benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause frequent urination, weak urine flow, and nighttime urination. Nettle root works by reducing inflammation in the prostate and improving urinary flow.
Additionally, nettle root supports hormonal balance, especially in men. It may help reduce the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—a hormone linked to prostate enlargement and hair loss—making it a natural option for supporting testosterone levels, libido, and vitality.
Beyond male health, nettle root also contains compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can support joint health, reduce pain and swelling, and promote overall immune function.
Whether taken as a powder, capsule, tea, or tincture, nettle root is a reliable herbal ally for prostate care, hormone balance, and inflammatory support—making it a valuable addition to any wellness routine.
