Traditional medicine[edit]

Nettle have been used as household remedy for centuries. The presence of bioactive components such as flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, fatty acids and carotenoids were attested in leave and roots of nettles and consequently have been found in the nettle water extracts [1], hence the common utilisation of nettle in folk veterinary and human medicine [2]. It has been used in traditional medicine in named Ankaferd BloodStopper ® (ABS) in Turkey, a folkloric medicinal plant extract containing nettle extract, as well as in herbal preparation and household remedies in Croatia[3] and Italy[4].

Conventional medicine[edit]

The use of nettle root extract have shown benefits against symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, notably urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia when used complementarily to conventional treatments[5][6]. Nettle leaves could also serve as a supportive treatment of arthritis, osteoarthritis and/or rheumatic complaints[5][7].
