Stinging Nettle Urtica Drops 50ml

Our Stinging Nettle Urtica Drops are made from freshly harvested stinging nettle, the plant is organically grown and then carefully harvested for use in our tincture.

Stinging Nettle, has a well-known reputation for its sting when the skin touches the hairs and bristles on the leaves and stems, the name Urtica comes from the Latin verb urere, meaning 'to burn’.

Interestingly when the fine hairs on the Urtica plant come into contact with a painful area of the body they can actually cause a decrease in the original pain!

Nettle is widely considered a natural antihistamine, but research shows it can also inhibit several of the inflammatory events that cause the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Nettle is helpful here as it has antagonist and negative agonist activity, meaning it may block the receptor sites that histamine usually latches on to.

Moreover, nettle may inhibit Tryptase, an enzyme that is released alongside histamine and which promotes its effects.

Inhibiting it is therefore useful in reducing allergic responses.
