It is commonly enjoyed as a caffeine-free, soothing herbal drink, and its plants contain antioxidant compounds. It has not been shown to treat or cure a health condition, so do not use it in place of medical care.
Steep the blend in hot water, then strain it before drinking. Covering the cup while it steeps helps retain its aroma; follow the package directions if they specify a different steeping method.
Do not drink this blend during pregnancy without asking your healthcare professional. The safety of medicinal herbs such as yarrow and calendula in pregnancy is not well established, and the blend’s ingredients and amount matter.
There is not enough evidence to establish that drinking this blend every day over the long term is safe. If you take regular medication or have a chronic condition, ask a healthcare professional before making it a daily habit.
Some people may experience stomach upset or an allergic reaction. Calendula may be a concern for people allergic to plants in the daisy family; stop drinking the tea if you develop itching, swelling or breathing difficulty.
There is no reliable evidence that this blend can bring on a period, so do not rely on it for that purpose. A late period can have several causes, including pregnancy; seek appropriate advice if delays keep happening.
No, a blend made from nettle, yarrow and calendula is naturally caffeine-free. If you are buying a packaged product, check its ingredient list to make sure it does not contain added tea leaves or other ingredients.
It generally tastes herbal and mildly floral, with a green note from the nettle. The proportions affect the flavor; a little lemon can brighten the cup if you find the blend too earthy.
It may interact with some medicines, and evidence about this particular blend is limited. If you take prescription medication, especially regularly, ask your pharmacist or healthcare professional before drinking it often.
Keep the dried blend in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and strong odors. Moisture can spoil dried herbs, so use a dry spoon and follow any storage advice on the package.

This nettle, yarrow and calendula herbal tea is an infusion made by steeping the dried parts of these plants in hot water. The herbs may be blended at home or bought as a ready-made mix; use a small amount in a cup or teapot and pour hot water over it.
Its flavour is gently grassy and earthy, with floral notes from the yarrow and calendula. It is enjoyed as a caffeine-free drink, either on its own or alongside a light snack; steep it longer for a fuller herbal taste. The plain infusion contributes very little energy, so it can suit those looking for an unsweetened alternative to regular tea. For a milder cup, steep briefly, and add lemon rather than sweetener if you like a brighter taste.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
