What's the difference between nettle root and nettle leaf?
The leaf and root of the nettle contain different ratios of different nutrients. Because of this, sometimes the root is better and sometimes the leaf. Nettle leaf is used slightly more often for kidney while nettle root is used for prostate, resistance and most other purposes.
