Nettles. Spiteful stingers which lurk in the undergrowth to ruin summer rambles or incredible healthy resource to be loved and respected? Well until recently I would have been firmly in camp one as we have nettles growing in abundance around our English village.
But then I learned about some of the health properties experts claim nettles can offer, and tried a refreshing tasty way to imbibe this amazing plant without the sting.
Emunity is the first detox health drink to harness the healing and immunity-boosting benefits of nettle and make it available in a ready to drink can.
The common stinging nettle is one of the most abundant weeds growing in the UK, and it has been used in traditional medicines and folk remedies for millennia. As science has improved, we are now able to test these health claims.
Containing omega-3, essential amino acids, vitamins, and fibre, nettle apparently has the ability to help lower blood sugar levels, aid in lowering blood pressure, help fight the symptoms of hay fever, and boost your immune system.
Immunity from UK-based Nasslor Health-drinks Ltd is the first detox health drink to harness the healing and immunity-boosting benefits of nettle and make it available in a ready-to-drink can.
Emunity’s founders are two UK pharmacists with a passion for helping people stay healthy. Taking an old family recipe they have blended nettles with English Garden Herbs to create a great tasting, refreshing drink loaded with immune boosting health benefits. It is 100% natural, with no artificial ingredients and only 53 calories per can. Interested? Read more at https://emunity.co.uk
I tried the nettle, dandelion, gooseberry, rosemary and thyme flavour and the nettle, chamomile, wild strawberry, meadowsweet and cucumber flavour. Both were refreshing and fruity, light and tasty. I thought I'd prefer the strawberry one but actually if I had to choose I think I'd opt for there one with dandelion and gooseberry which I felt was slightly sweeter and I so have a sweet tooth.
You can drink out of the can or make a bit more of an effort to create a beautiful and healthy summer drink.
