Nettle is known for its healing properties – it supports immunological systems and helps fight off infections. Nettle can do this by activating immunological cells of living organisms. It has been proven that nettle can help destroy bacteria, viruses and fungi. Due to a high content of folic acid, iron, copper and vitamin K, nettle plays role in red cell formation.
