I have no problems with the nettle or my mandarian orange, just the red raspberry. Thoughts? I have absolutely no idea. Red Raspberry is an astringent though, and it can make the gums tighter is applied to them. Perhaps this is why? Or maybe you are allergice to it topically, and when it comes in contact with the gums it irritates them. Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 The first time I noticed it I had the red raspberry and nettle mixed in the same pot, since then I separated them and I get the ache with the raspberry but not the nettle.. same cup same temp. Maybe it is the " gum tightening " properties. I was just curious. It almost feels like the ache when you bite on something metalic.. is it high in iron or other metals? herbal remedies , Ilana Grostern <ilana@c...> wrote: > I have no clue but I'm very curious to see if anyone knows the answer to > this question!! > > Do you drink that tea at any other temperature than the others, or maybe > from a different cup?

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Yes! I get a metallic taste in my mouth if I let my nettle brew too long. It's so incredibly high in iron that the brew actually starts to smell like metal if you let it sit long enough. RRL is also really really high in all sorts of wonderful vitamins and minerals. Maybe try letting it steep for less time?
