Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Nettles, Urtica dioica, are the most versatile of herbs. Nettles contain amines, including histamine, serotonin, and flavonoids including rutin and quercitrin. This commonly found plant also contains carotenes and vitamin C.The National College of Naturopathic Medicine conducted a study of hay fever and allergic rhinitis using nettles that bore impressive positive results.In addition to its ability to have antihistamine-like effect, nettles tonify and firm inflamed tissues. When the bulk herb is steeped as a tea, the tea aids digestion and the herb can be used topically for skin irritations. Suzi What is a weed?
