Traditional Medicinal Uses



Stinging nettle (herb and leaf) has been used as a medicine since ancient times. The Greek physicians Dioscorides (first century A.D.) and Galen (ca. 130-200 A.D.) used nettle for its diuretic and laxative action. The Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder (ca. 23-79 A.D.) reported its use as a counter irritant and effective remedy for chronic rheumatic pain, muscle paralysis, and sciatica.
