Nettle Leaf Powder

Product Description:
 
Nettle Leaf Powder is made from the dried, finely ground leaves of Urtica dioica, a plant more familiar across Himalayan hill communities as Bicchu Buti, literally scorpion herb, a name earned from the fine stinging hairs on its fresh leaves that cause a sharp, temporary sting on contact. Once dried and processed, that sting is gone entirely, leaving behind a deep green, mineral-rich leaf powder that has long been part of traditional food and herbal practice in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and neighbouring hill regions, used in everything from herbal teas and soups to traditional hair and scalp care.
 
The leaves are harvested from wild-growing stands in cool mountain climates, then dried and finely milled into a smooth powder suited to herbal tea blends, hair care preparations, and general wellness formulation. Supplied in food-grade quality, it is suitable for both herbal tea use and formulation work. Nettle Leaf Powder is a regular pick for herbal tea brands and haircare formulators who need a dependable Himalayan-sourced supply, and it's just as practical for a wellness brand testing a new blend, or an individual buyer wanting a mineral-rich addition to their own routine.
