THE ONE TEA TRANSFORMING MARIA’S MIND, BODY & GLOW

By Curate

 

Maria’s newest springtime ritual? A warm (or iced!) cup of nettle tea. We spotted it on her Instagram stories and instantly needed the scoop. When Maria brings something into her wellness routine, it’s always intentional — and usually packed with real benefits. Naturally, we dove into the research to find out what makes this humble herb so buzz-worthy.

Nettle tea is earthy, nutty, slightly toasty, and surprisingly energizing — all without the caffeine crash. Whether sipped hot or served as a chilled green infusion, it’s a powerhouse brew with mind, body, and beauty perks.

Eases Spring Allergies

It’s not a miracle cure or a replacement for allergy medication, but consistent nettle tea drinking can help lessen the effects of hay fever and seasonal allergies thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory qualities.

 

Nourishes Skin and Hair

Nettle’s soothing properties support conditions like eczema, acne, and a dry, irritated scalp. It’s also rich in vitamins A, C, K, and several B vitamins — plus minerals like calcium, iron, and phosphorus — helping boost your glow and support healthy hair growth.

 

Strengthens Immunity

Thanks to its antioxidant and antimicrobial abilities, nettle tea gives your immune system a gentle yet effective boost against everyday pathogens.

Supports Gut Health

For those dealing with IBS, constipation, or gut imbalances, nettle tea’s anti-inflammatory and antiulcer benefits make it a calming addition to digestive wellness.

 

How to Brew It

Hot: Boil filtered water, let it cool for two minutes, then steep the leaves for up to three minutes to preserve the medicinal goodness.

Cold: Add fresh or dried nettle leaves to a jar of spring water and refrigerate overnight for a crisp, refreshing infusion.

Comforting in winter, cooling in summer — it’s a year-round ritual worth stealing from Maria.
