Nettle is a plant rich in minerals and trace elements, and if you want to benefit from its medicinal properties—which are very often misused—you should take a course of nettle juice combined with celery, cucumber, and lemon.
Nettle is also found in the form of cream, soap, shampoos, or lotions. Applied as a mask in powder form, it will purify oily skin. Finally, nettle is beneficial for treating blood circulation problems.
An anti-inflammatory, nettle is effective in treating acne because it is depurative, meaning it eliminates toxins from the skin.
This exceptional plant will also fight against scabies.
What the science says: medicinal plants, natural skin care
What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, by way of illustration—these studies concern material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.
Medicinal plants: using them well
Moringa, for example, has shown an effect on blood sugar according to a meta-analysis (Molecules, 2021) and its safety has been reviewed (Phytother Res, 2015); more generally, plants act—and therefore interact: the review of plants for anxiety (Pharmacol Res, 2022) or for painful periods (J Int Med Res, 2020) reminds us of this. Precaution: respect the doses, avoid mixing many plants together, check compatibility with your medications, pregnancy, or breastfeeding; buy quality plants from a controlled source.
Natural skin care
Aloe vera promotes healing and soothes the skin according to a review of clinical trials (Iran J Med Sci, 2019) (Plast Reconstr Surg, 2018); in eczema, daily moisturizing with emollients is the foundation of treatment (Int J Dermatol, 2025) and the skin microbiome plays a central role (J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol, 2023). Olive oil, black seed oil, honey, and shea butter are the traditional emollients. Precaution: test any new product on a small area for 24 hours; a lesion that spreads, oozes, or becomes infected calls for a doctor.
