Nettle

**Sharysa** · January 9th, 2013, 12:23 PM

I've been drinking nettle tea twice a week since the beginning of the month. Hoping to move to daily drinking by making it less strong.

It tastes rather bland, but at least it's not bad if I use a bit of honey.

I use nettle as a tea to fight allergies. I'll let you know if I see any hair changes.

I know that too much silica can cause a defficiancy in vitiamin B1, so maybe supplement with B vitamins as well. Or just take breaks from it now and then.

It's possible that Nettle tea has helped my growth a LOT from November to February, since I gained two inches of length (nearly half my normal growth rate) while others seem to have stalled completely.

Today I'm doing my first horsetail rinse but I've been drinking it for a long time and it's definitely making my hair grow and look healthy. I definitely can tell. I have a question... What if the purpose of the hibiscus in your rinse?

I also use it to help with hayfever. I've never thought of it in regards to my hair.

I used nettles as a rinse today, I left it in my hair for a while then I rinsed it again with water afraid it would tinge the towel.
I´d say my hair is shinier and I´m curious if it will darken my hair if I keep it as a routine.

It never stained my hair in any way, even when I had my natural light brown hair.
