Nettle leaf has been found to help ease joint pain and inflammation. A few studies have shown that people had less joint pain when nettle leaves were applied to the affected area, or when they took an extract of the leaves together with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin. We need more studies to confirm these effects. Talk to your doctor before using nettle leaf for arthritis. https://www.arthritis.org/living-with-arthritis/treatments/natural/supplements-herbs/guide/stinging-nettle.php Stinging nettle seed oil may help reduce colonic inflammation, according to the results of a rat model. [53] Doctors are still not entirely sure why stinging nettle alleviates some of these symptoms, but many clinical studies infer that it contains chemicals that affect the hormones that cause BPH. When taken, it also directly affects prostate cells. Stinging nettle root extract has also been shown to slow or stop the spread of prostate cancer cells. Carotenoids can be found primarily in the leaves, where different forms of lutein, xanthophyll and carotene are present (Table 2). Some carotenes are precursors of vitamin A (retinol), their retinol equivalents RE or retinol activity equivalents per g dry weight are 1.33 for mature leaves and 0.9 for young leaves. [62] Nettle contains much less carotenes and retinol than carrots, which contain 8.35 RE per g fresh weight. [65] Depending on the batch and the leaf and stem content, nettle contains only traces of zeaxanthin or between 20–60mg/kg of dry matter. [62] [66] Nettle contains ascorbic acid ( vitamin C), riboflavin ( vitamin B 2), pantothenic acid, vitamin K 1 [62] and tocopherols ( vitamin E). [66] The highest vitamin contents can be found in the leaves. [62] Table 2: Carotenoid concentration of leaves of U.dioica (μg/ g dry weight). [63]Again, these studies focus on nettle leaves rather than nettle tea. Scientists need to carry out further studies to understand how nettle tea might help with BPH. Seasonal allergies In another study, taking a supplement that contained stinging nettle extract significantly reduced arthritis pain. Additionally, participants felt they could reduce their dose of anti-inflammatory pain relievers because of this capsule ( 10). The stinging nettle is the red admiral caterpillar's primary host plant and can attract migrating red admiral butterflies to a garden. [78] U.dioica can be a troubling weed, and mowing can increase plant density. [79] Regular and persistent tilling will greatly reduce its numbers, and the use of herbicides such as 2,4-D and glyphosate are effective control measures. [79] Culture [ edit ]

Stinging nettle contains a number of chemicals, such as serotonin, histamine and acetylcholine, some of which can be very irritating. These chemicals cause the stinging irritation on skin and are found at the base of the fine hairs on the nettle. Byrek me hithra"[Recipe: Nettles Pie] (in Albanian). 13 February 2013.
