Everyone has felt its sting at one time or another. The mechanism is astonishingly precise: its leaves and stems are covered with tiny hairs, hardened with silica like little glass needles. At the slightest touch, their tips break off and inject a small irritating cocktail under the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the plant has been dried, these hairs lose their power: that is why nettle soup does not sting, and nor does the powder in our capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/8620\/7046\/files\/ortie-piquante-01-1024x1024.png?v=1793005228\" alt=\"Organically grown stinging nettle leaves, simply dried and then finely ground, without extraction.

To break the spell, she must pick nettles with her bare hands, tread them with her bare feet, spin them and then knit eleven shirts, without uttering a single word until her task is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tale invents nothing: the nettle stem contains a long, strong fibre that has been spun and woven since the Bronze Age.
