[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 279169, member: 3"] Stinging nettle root has been used for hundreds of years to treat painful muscles and joints, eczema, arthritis, gout, and anemia[1][4]. The root of the stinging nettle is used to treat mictional difficulties associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), while the leaves are used to treat arthritis, rheumatism, and allergic rhinitis[1]. Stinging nettle leaves contain a wide range of chemical components, including flavonoids, phenolic compounds, organic acids, vitamins, and minerals, as well as tannins, volatile compounds and fatty acids, polysaccharides, isolectins, sterols, terpenes, and proteins[2]. These components contribute to the plant's antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-infectious, hypotensive, and antiulcer characteristics[1]. Specifically regarding gout, stinging nettle has been shown to effectively treat the condition, relieve muscle aches and minimize the symptoms of arthritis[2]. Gout occurs when uric acid accumulates and crystallizes in and around the joints, producing inflammation and agonizing pain[3]. Stinging nettles can help eliminate excess uric acid and alleviate certain symptoms of the condition[3]. Brewing a cup of stinging nettle tea is the most typical technique to relieve gout-inflamed joints[3]. Stinging nettle root is also used widely in Europe to treat BPH. Studies in people suggest that stinging nettle, in combination with other herbs (especially saw palmetto), may be effective at relieving symptoms such as reduced urinary flow, incomplete emptying of the bladder, post urination dripping, and the constant urge to urinate[1]. These symptoms are caused by the enlarged prostate gland pressing on the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder)[1]. Some studies suggest that stinging nettle is comparable to finasteride (a medication commonly prescribed for BPH) in slowing the progression of the disease, but unlike finasteride, the herb does not decrease prostate size[1]. Scientists aren't sure why nettle root reduces symptoms. It may be because it contains chemicals that affect hormones (including testosterone and estrogen), or because it acts directly on prostate cells[1]. In summary, stinging nettle root has been used for centuries to treat painful muscles and joints, including gout and BPH. The root contains chemicals that may affect hormones and prostate cells, contributing to its effectiveness in treating BPH symptoms. Brewing a cup of stinging nettle tea is a common technique to relieve gout-inflamed joints and eliminate excess uric acid.
