3. Enhances Digestion
Nobody likes to spend a lot of time on the toilet. Stinging nettle can help relieve constipation or diarrhea if you are doing a lot of number 2s.
Stinging nettle aids digestion by reducing excessive inflammation. Inflammation of the gastrointestinal system can cause constipation and promote growth of bacteria. Stinging nettle is an anti-inflammatory and opens the gastrointestinal system, which prevents both of these instances.
The good bacteria, also known as the microbiome in your intestines is preserved by the cleansing of the intestines and the reduction of the growth rate of harmful bacteria. According to Michael Snyder Ph.D. director of Stanford University’s Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine, protecting your microbiome will also protect you against all other diseases like diabetes.
