Nettle Herb is rich in iron and can help combat hair loss while promote hair growth. Drinking nettle tea may also help battle hair loss, as iron can help with circulation to the scalp, in turn encouraging hair growth. Nettles will also help with an imbalance of sebum (the oil that your pores produce) which can make a difference if you suffer from dandruff or dry scalp.
