Stinging nettles offer minimal allergy relief
We explored the impact of freeze-dried Urtica dioica, commonly known as stinging nettles, on allergic rhinitis through a double-blind randomized study with ninety-eight participants.
While Urtica dioica was rated higher than a placebo in overall global assessments, the differences in daily symptoms recorded in diaries were only slight.
This suggests that while stinging nettles may hold some potential for allergy relief, the benefits appear minimal.

We looked at how Urtica dioica, or nettle, could help tackle asthma-related inflammation. In a study with Wistar rats, we compared the effects of nettle extract against a control group. After giving the extract for 25 days, results showed a significant decrease in inflammatory markers and oxidative stress. The rats given nettle experienced up to a 60% drop in certain inflammatory cells and a notable reduction in lipid peroxidation in their lungs. These findings suggest that nettle might have protective benefits against airway inflammation caused by allergens.

We observed that nettle (Urtica dioica) extract inhibits key processes tied to seasonal allergies. This research revealed that it acts on important receptors and enzymes responsible for inflammation.
Specifically, nettle demonstrates the ability to block the Histamine-1 receptor and prevents mast cells from releasing inflammatory substances. While the extract shows promising laboratory results in curbing allergic responses, these findings are mostly preliminary.
Therefore, further investigation is needed to determine its effectiveness in real-world allergy treatment.

Excellent! For about eight years, I was taking Benadryl every two hours and using Halls constantly due to sinus problems from allergies. Upon discovering nettle, I immediately purchased some. I no longer rely on Halls or Benadryl, as I now make my own capsules with this powder.

Effective for rhinitis

I purchased this for my allergies, knowing nettles are effective for relief. I brew it as a tea daily, and it has been working well for me. I used to suffer from allergic rhinitis each morning, sneezing uncontrollably until midday, but now it's vastly improved. I'm grateful for this.

Excellent antihistamine benefits! I researched natural alternatives to manage my food sensitivities and seasonal allergies. After drinking stinging nettle tea, I experienced immediate relief from the redness and itching on my skin. Within days, I had no more issues. The high-quality ingredients offer great value, and I appreciate the strong flavour of the tea.

We investigated the potential for allergies caused by nettle pollen (Urtica dioica) in two adult men who experienced allergic symptoms. By conducting skin tests, nasal provocations, and advanced allergomic analysis, we identified four specific allergens linked to this pollen, including various proteins.
This research confirms that nettle pollen can indeed trigger allergic reactions, challenging the notion that it is less allergenic. Understanding these allergens could enhance diagnosis and treatment strategies for those affected, paving the way for better immunotherapy options.

Nettle's mixed effects on allergies
We examined the effects of stinging nettle root extract on allergic rhinitis through a randomized, double-blind clinical trial with 74 participants. After one month of treatment, we noted improvements in symptom severity for both the nettle and placebo groups.
Notably, although we observed a decrease in eosinophil counts among those treated with nettle, other markers like IgE levels showed no significant changes. While nettle displayed some benefits, the placebo effect was also evident. This emphasizes the need for more extensive studies to fully understand nettle's potential in allergy management.

Nettle for allergies
21 people found this helpful
I love these small packages! While the larger ones are more economical, these are perfect for trying new herbs or for those I don't use as often. This particular purchase was a gift. I have used these for years due to the quality and freshness of the herbs. Nettles are known for their traditional use in relieving seasonal allergies, acting as a natural antihistamine. They are also rich in minerals and can support liver function and healthy skin. Excellent as a tea or infusion. If this is useful, please give a thumbs-up. Thank you.

Boosts iron levels
I have been using this tea each morning to help with my allergies and boost iron, as nettle contains iron and vitamin C. The flavour is a mild grassy one which I don’t mind; sometimes I add a little mint or raspberry leaf for a nicer taste. I prefer the Frontier brand as their products aren’t irradiated, ensuring I receive the full benefit of the herbs. I do wish there was a bit more product for the price, but I know it’s a quality product.
