Nettle Root (Cut and Sifted) is the dried, processed rhizome and underground root system of Urtica dioica. Distinct from the mineral-rich leaf, the root is prized for its high concentration of sterols, lignans, and agglutinins. The Cut and Sifted (C/S) preparation involves harvesting the dense root mass, cleaning it of soil, drying it to preserve phytochemical integrity, and mechanically chopping it into uniform, woody chips suitable for decoction.
