Indian Nettle

Benefits of India Nettle

If you think nettle is just a weed, you’re wrong. This amazing plant may be prickly, but it comes with a powerhouse of skin benefits because it has been a key ingredient in herbal medicine for centuries. Also called kuppaimeni powder, it has been used in Siddha practice for centuries due to its excellent effect on skin problems.

Stinging nettle offers the following amazing effects:

Anti-inflammatory

Stinging nettle, a powerful active ingredient, is known for its natural ability to soothe inflamed skin and reduce irritation. Its healing properties help reduce significant redness, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and rashes.

Anti-ageing

With a high concentration of phenols, stinging nettle acts as a powerful antioxidant that optimises free radical scavenging when used in skin care. In addition to a firming effect, it also keeps fine lines at bay and acts as a great anti-ageing agent.

Antibacterial

Because it kills fungi and bacteria, nettle is really effective against micro-organisms that can lead to inflammation and acne. It fights infections, such as pimples, and prevents them from coming back.

Glow Booster

Stinging nettle is an important source of vitamins A, C, D and the B complex. It gives the skin a radiant glow and a fresh complexion.

Detoxifier

Oily skin benefits greatly from the detoxifying properties of nettle. Milder than alcohol, vinegar or citrus fruits, this wonderful herb can be used to control oily skin and keep it free from rashes.
