  • Traditional Use

    One of America's foremost authorities on herbal medicine, Susun Weed, uses nettle root as a hair and scalp tonic and an immune and lymphatic strengthener. For immune system stress, such as constant exposure to chemicals, Weed uses five to 30 drops up to three times a day “along with other Wise Woman wiles.” She says “those with thinning hair, dandruff, scalp infections and hair loss after chemotherapy and giving birth can try rubbing the scalp every morning and night with nettle root decoction or tincture”.
