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 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.

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.

Nettle's mixed effects on allergiesEfficacy of Supportive Therapy of Allergic Rhinitis by Stinging Nettle root extract: a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo- Controlled, Clinical Trial.
Moderate relevance for allergic rhinitis
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.

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.

User Reviews
I’ve been using this for seasonal allergy symptoms for about two years, taking it daily. It surpasses Claritin for me with no side effects. I haven’t caught a cold since using it, as it seems to boost my immune system. I love it; I keep it with me all the time.
First of all, I purchased it to combat my allergies. I began taking it at the peak of my symptoms when pharmacy treatments ceased to work, and on the fourth day, my allergies disappeared. I feel like a normal person again. I bought two jars, which should last the season.
I’m thrilled to have found this stinging nettle root extract! It’s been transformative for my health. I struggled with allergies and chronic inflammation for years, but since I started taking these capsules, my symptoms have significantly improved. I would highly recommend this product to anyone facing similar issues.

I bought this as a remedy for allergic rhinitis, starting at the height of my symptoms. By the fourth day, my symptoms passed, and the delivery was super fast, arriving earlier than expected.
After decades of suffering with allergies and trying various OTC antihistamines with poor results, stinging nettle has worked remarkably well without side effects. This brand is trustworthy, and using the recommended dosage allows me to be outside during high pollen without issue.
