HOW NETTLE PLANTS STING
The leaves and stems of the nettle are very hairy with non-stinging hairs, and in most subspecies, also
bear many stinging hairs (trichomes), whose tips come off when touched, transforming the hair into a
needle that can inject several chemicals: acetylcholine, histamine, serotonin, moroidin, leukotrienes, and
possibly formic acid. This mixture of chemical compounds causes a painful sting or paresthesia from
which the species derives one of its common names, stinging nettle, as well as the colloquial names burn
nettle, burn weed, and burn hazel.
U. dioica herb has been used in the traditional Austrian medicine internally (as tea or fresh leaves) to treat
disorders of the kidneys and urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, locomotor system, skin, cardiovascular
system, hemorrhage, influenza, rheumatism, and gout.
As Old English sti, nettle is one of the nine plants invoked in the pagan Anglo-Saxon Nine Herbs
Charm, recorded in the 10th century. Nettle was believed to be a galactagogue, a substance that
promotes lactation.
