Nettle is an amazing ingredient that we love to use at Lhamour and that the Mongolian nomadic women have been using for centuries. It grows abundantly in Mongolia and we are very lucky to be able to utilize nature's best.
What is nettle used for?

Its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and astringent properties make it effective for managing various skin conditions and promoting overall skin health.

How Nettle May Help Eczema
- Anti-inflammatory: Nettle contains compounds like quercetin, which may help reduce redness and inflammation associated with eczema flare-ups by interfering with the body's inflammatory responses.
- Antihistamine properties: Nettle is considered a natural antihistamine, which can help calm the itching and allergic reactions common with eczema.
- Antioxidant effects: Nettle is rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin barrier from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress, which can worsen eczema symptoms.
- Skin healing: Nettle extract has shown potential in animal studies to promote skin healing and the formation of new blood vessels, which is essential for repairing damaged skin.
