Nettle Root, 30g (ABC of Herbs)

Nettle root (Urtica dioica), a time-honored herbal remedy, offers a wide array of potential health benefits. Traditionally used as a natural diuretic, it may help alleviate symptoms associated with conditions such as dropsy (edema), tuberculosis, whooping cough, kidney stones, gout, and various urinary tract disorders. Its applications extend to supporting joint health, potentially easing the discomfort of arthritis and polyarthritis. Historically, it has also been used to address anemia, chorea in children, and intestinal parasites. Furthermore, nettle root has been traditionally employed for the relief of furunculosis and hemorrhoids. Some believe nettle root can act as a cardiac tonic, though more research is needed to validate this claim. Perhaps its most well-known traditional use is in supporting prostate health, potentially offering relief from prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
