Nettle Mineral Tonic Mocktail

A Cooling, Rejuvenating Elixir for Hair & Inner Radiance. This Nettle Mineral Tonic offers a delicious, easy way to nourish the body, soothe inflammation, and support radiant, resilient hair—one sip at a time.

Why Nettle?

Revered across both Western herbalism and Ayurveda, Nettles is mineral-rich and energetically balancing. Its high iron, silica, calcium, and vitamin C content support hair strength, follicle resilience, and circulation. Nettle also cools excess Pitta, gently detoxifies the blood, and strengthens the body’s natural rejuvenation systems.

*Serves 2*

- 1 heaping tablespoon dried nettle leaf

- Raw honey or maple syrup

Top with sparkling water, coconut water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine for a light effervescence.
