Amazing Benefits of Nettle: Nature's Hidden Gem

24.11.23 0 Comments Posted by admin

Nettle is one of the most important plants in Slavic culture. It can be found in various beliefs and customs. For our ancestors, nettle served as food, medicine, and a source for making clothes. Our ancestors called it Krapiva (К-Ра-Пива) which can be translated from Old Russian as "full of sunshine" and honored it as a sacred plant that provided nourishing food, construction material, and strong and practical threads and fabrics.

Making threads and fabric from nettle fibres is a long and labour intensive process.

So, what makes these products so special? Why are they made and bought?

Let's start with the insoles. Nettle products are warmer than woolen ones. The bactericidal properties of nettles have been known since ancient times. Such insoles create a good microclimate in shoes and serve as a preventive measure against skin diseases. Nettle insoles help relieve pain for people suffering from various diseases while walking.

Nettle headbands and bracelets serve not only therapeutic purposes but also act as an amulet against evil forces. Nettles absorb sunlight throughout the summer and store large amounts of trace minerals. In handmade products, nettles give us back the energy of the sun and provide us with micronutrients. A nettle bracelet is not a medical remedy, but rather a gift from nature. Try it, and you will never want to part with nettle products.

To obtain 15 grams of nettle fiber, you need to harvest 4.5 kg of nettles. But the properties it possesses are remarkable: incredibly soft, pleasant to the touch fiber that can withstand heavy loads, shines, and does not electrify. The luster of ramie fiber resembles silk, and it can be easily dyed without losing its silkiness, making it suitable for expensive fabrics. It does not lose its luster after washing or exposure to the sun; on the contrary, it becomes even more spectacular.

In the past, nettle cloths were bleached in snow and dew, boiled in wood ash, and dyed with chamomile or cornflower decoction, giving them a decent appearance. Can you imagine rough, prickly shirts? Neither can we.

Nettle products have proven to be long-lasting, making them highly suitable for creating practical and high-performance fabrics.
