Stinging Nettle Herb Cut is a dried herbal ingredient traditionally prepared as a mineral-rich tea and used in simple botanical routines. It has a green, earthy flavour and is often chosen for everyday infusions, internal wellness-style blends, and topical herbal preparations. The cut herb format is easy to measure and strains cleanly, which makes it practical for home brewing and simple DIY use. It is also popular in skin and haircare-style infusions, where a gentle, plant-led ingredient is preferred.

♡ Why we love it: Stinging Nettle is one of those herbs that feels quietly hardworking. We love how naturally it fits into everyday tea routines, and how easily it moves from the teapot into simple hair and skincare-style preparations. It is exactly the kind of ingredient we value at Essentially Natural: versatile, mineral-rich in character, plant-led, and useful across both internal and external botanical routines.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Also available in large pack sizes.

Nettles for Scalp & Hair

I have seen an overall improvement in my dry scalp. Although I'd caution against leaving it on your scalp for too long as it does have a drying effect on hair and can cause irritation. However, I have only had this for 1 month and will continue to experiment with Nettles.
