Stinging Nettle:

Health Benefits of Stinging Nettle

People take stinging nettle to try to heal health problems, including:

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Stinging nettle root is a common treatment in Europe for symptoms of BPH. This is a noncancerous condition that causes the prostate gland to enlarge, making urination difficult.

Allergies: Stinging nettle leaf may be useful in reducing the symptoms of hay fever by acting as an anti-inflammatory. Some research has linked treatment with stinging nettle leaf to relief of symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.

Joint pain: Research has found some evidence that rubbing stinging nettle leaves on painful joints can provide pain relief. One small study also found that eating stewed nettle leaves was a helpful addition to the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac.

Pancreas therapy: There’s some evidence that stinging nettle can help control blood sugar in people with pancreas issues. The research is mixed, however. Other studies have found it can raise blood sugar. You should check your blood sugar levels regularly if you have pancreas issues and take stinging nettle.
