I encourage *all* my clients to drink 16-32 oz. of nettles tea every day! For women who just cannot drink this tea or in that quantity, I suggest taking the herb in capsule form (2 caps, 3 x day).
Nettles tea is a superior natural thirst quencher, high in vitamin K, iron and important anti-oxidants. Mixed with other woman-friendly herbs such as oat straw, red raspberry leaf and red clover, these herbs support the expanding blood volume and tone the uterus. It is a wonderful and refreshing beverage hot or cold. Taken during labor, it provides all important, blood clotting vitamin K for mother and baby. After the baby comes, it continues to refresh the mother, and helps increase milk production.
