Stinging Nettle

Stinging nettle has been used for centuries to treat rheumatism, eczema, arthritis, gout, and anemia. Many people use it to treat the early stages of an enlarged prostate, for urinary tract infections, kidney stones, hay fever, and in compresses and creams to treat joint pain, sprains and strains, tendonitis, insect bites and rheumatoid arthritis.
With distinctive yellow, widely spreading roots it is a herbaceous perennial, growing to 1-2 m tall.

The soft green leaves are 3-15 cm long, with a strongly serrated margin, a cordate base and an acuminate tip. Both the leaves and the stems are covered with brittle, hollow, silky hairs that were thought to contain formic acid as a defence against grazing animals. Recent research has revealed the cause of the sting to be from three chemicals - a histamine to irritate the skin, acetylcholine to bring on a burning sensation and serotonin to encourage the other two chemicals (Elliott 1997).
