3.Improves Digestion
Nobody enjoys being a frequent occupant of the white throne (the commode). Whether due to diarrhea or constipation, stinging nettle may provide relief if you find yourself doing an excessive number of number 2s.
By minimizing inflammation, stinging nettle facilitates digestion. Excessive inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract not only causes constipation, but also promotes the development of undesirable bacteria in the gut during prolonged periods of inflammation. As an anti-inflammatory, stinging nettle prevents both occurrences by dilating the gastrointestinal tract and preventing inflammation.
As an unintended consequence of cleansing the intestines and reducing the likelihood of hazardous bacterial growth, the microbiome of beneficial bacteria in the intestines is preserved. Michael Snyder, Ph.D., director of Stanford University’s Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine, claims that protecting your microbiome also safeguards you from all other diseases, such as diabetes.
