Urtica clinical study -- Nettle sting and arthritis by Jill Hoppe Medical Herbalism 11(3):10 In 1999, researchers at Plymouth Postgraduate Medical School in Plymouth, UK., conducted an exploratory study on the use of nettle (Urtica dioica) sting for joint pain. Eighteen people that used nettle therapy were interviewed. According to the authors, “all except one respondent were sure that nettles had been very helpful and several considered themselves cured.” The authors conclude that the nettle sting is a useful, safe and inexpensive therapy, which warrants further investigation.
