Nettle Oxymel

Nettle Oxymel
Fresh wild nettles + raw apple cider vinegar + raw wildflower honey

Handcrafted in small batches, our Nettle Oxymel is a vibrant, mineral-rich infusion of fresh, wild-harvested nettles in raw organic apple cider vinegar, gently sweetened with raw wildflower honey. Rooted in centuries of traditional folk practice, this classic sweet-sour preparation offers a nourishing way to welcome the wild vitality of the seasons into everyday life.

Nettle (Urtica dioica), known as the “herbal multivitamin,” is revered for its dense concentration of naturally occurring plant-based minerals—iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and silica—as well as chlorophyll and trace elements. As noted by Rosemary Gladstar, nettle is one of the finest nourishing tonics in the herbal apothecary, offering deep, building support to the entire system when used consistently over time.

We steep fresh nettles—never dried—in raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, which acts as a traditional menstruum (extracting medium) to pull minerals and alkaloids from the plant material. According to Matthew Wood, vinegar is especially well-suited to extract mineral salts and subtle energetic properties from deep-toning herbs like nettle. Raw vinegar also retains naturally occurring probiotics that support healthy microbial balance and gentle preservation—making it a living, shelf-stable infusion.

A touch of raw wildflower honey balances the brightness of the vinegar, lending a golden, floral warmth to the green depth of nettle. Sweet and tart, this oxymel is a versatile kitchen ally—drizzle over greens, splash into still or sparkling water, or enjoy by the spoonful as a mineral-rich daily ritual.

Ojas Naturals Honey Extracts are created using a proprietary process developed from traditional Ayurvedic methods. The honey used in the extraction process works to extract different constituents of the plants, providing a more complete extraction while also adding a pleasant, sweet flavor and, according to the Ayurvedic tradition, honey acts as a carrier during the digestive process, carrying and assimilating the herbs deeper into tissues.
