FAQ
Nettle Seed Tincture is a liquid herbal preparation made from nettle seeds (Urtica dioica, semen), prepared using the traditional cold maceration method. This method helps preserve a broad spectrum of naturally occurring compounds that the seeds develop as the plant completes its life cycle.
We use a carefully selected alcohol concentration to achieve a balanced extraction of different plant constituents. In this way, the tincture retains the rich and full character of nettle seeds, which have long been valued by herbalists.
We grow nettles in an organic environment or carefully gather them from unspoilt natural areas in Slovenia. The seeds are harvested by hand in late summer, when they are fully mature. They are then gently dried and processed into tincture.

Nettle (Urtica dioica)
Nettle is one of the most valued plants in European folk herbalism. It is easily recognised by its characteristic serrated leaves and stinging hairs, yet behind its modest appearance lies a plant with an exceptionally long tradition of use. For centuries, people have associated nettle with strength, resilience and vital energy.
It belongs to the nettle family (Urticaceae). Several other plants are part of this family, but stinging nettle is by far its best-known and most widespread representative.
For this tincture, we use nettle seeds (Urtica dioica, semen). They are harvested at the end of summer, when the plant completes its annual cycle and the seeds contain the richness intended for new life.
Nettle seeds hold a special place among herbalists. Although most people are more familiar with the young spring leaves, many traditional herbalists believed that one of the plant’s most precious parts could be found in its seeds. In some parts of northern and eastern Europe, nettle seeds were added to porridge, bread and other foods and were valued as a precious gift of late summer.
Interestingly, some herbalists referred to nettle seeds as the “hidden treasure of the nettle”. They believed that the plant stored its strength and vital energy in the seeds for the following year. Because a seed represents the beginning of new life, nettle has symbolised resilience, fertility and inner strength in many traditions.
In herbal tradition, nettle seeds are valued as a gentle yet precious way of using the plant. They are often included during periods when we wish to offer the body additional support and maintain a sense of vitality and inner balance.
Traditionally, nettle seeds are used as part of herbal preparations intended to support general well-being and a sense of vital energy. Because of their distinctive nature, many herbal enthusiasts also like to include them in longer periods of use.

What is the difference between nettle seeds and nettle leaves? Are there any studies?
Yes. Although they come from the same plant (Urtica dioica), the leaves, seeds and roots differ considerably in their composition and traditional use.
Nettle leaves are rich in minerals, chlorophyll, carotenoids and polyphenols. Traditionally, they are used especially in spring and are among the most popular parts of the plant. Research has shown that nettle leaves have high antioxidant activity.
Nettle seeds represent the final stage of the plant’s life cycle. Compared with the leaves, they contain considerably more fatty oil and a different balance of individual compounds. Analyses show that the seeds are particularly rich in fats and also contain a range of phenolic compounds and antioxidants.
Nettle roots also hold a special place in herbalism. In this way, the plant offers us three very different and interesting parts – green leaves, precious seeds and deep roots. Each has its own traditional use and characteristic composition.
In folk herbalism, the leaves are associated mainly with the green, springtime nature of the plant, while the seeds have long been regarded by herbalists as the “hidden treasure of the nettle”. The roots, on the other hand, symbolise strength and connection with the earth.
For this reason, nettle seeds are not simply a “stronger version” of the leaves, but a different part of the same plant with a different composition and its own traditional character. This is part of the beauty of nettle – one plant offering us three entirely different treasures.
