Does Anyone know the health properties of Nettle Tea?

Question

Other than it is detoxing? It tastes awful btw!

Answer 1

It is widely-believed that polysaccharides (complex sugars) and lectins (large protein-sugar molecules) are probably the active constituents of nettle.

When infused in boiling water, the roots and leaves give out the special healing properties and transfer them to the tea.
