Nettle Leaf for Horses
The plant is known as “stinging nettle” because of its hollow hairs (tricomes) on the leaves and stem that cause a stinging sensation upon contact. Originally native to Europe, nettles can now be found worldwide in wet environments and moist soils.
The leaves, stem, or root from the nettle plant can be crushed and made into powders, tinctures, creams, teas, and more.
