Nettles contain antihistamines which act against the body’s natural response to produce nasal congestion and watery eye in response to pollen and other allergens. Nettles ease any allergy symptoms, particularly hay fever.
Seeds & leaves of Nettle are also being used to treat arthralgia, colds and flu, diabetes, joint pain, cancers, hypertension and liver diseases.
Drinking a nettle tea can help in treatment of bladder infection –cystitis and flushes the body of infection causing bacteria in bladder or in urethra. In combination with other herbs such as Prunus africanum /red stinkwood and Serenoa repens /saw palmetto, the combined effect is said to ease inflammation and swelling in chronic cases of prostatitis also know as prostate inflammation.
