This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture, syrup and tea. From ancient Greece to the present, nettle has been documented for its use in treating coughs, tuberculosis, asthma, arthritis, intestinal complaints and skin problems. Currently it is thought that polysaccharides (complex sugars) and lectins (large protein-sugar molecules) are probably the active constituents. The nettle leaf has been shown to be anti-inflammatory by preventing the body from making inflammatory chemicals known as prostaglandins. Nettle’s root affects hormones and proteins that carry sex hormones (such as testosterone or estrogen) in the human body; this may explain why it helps benign prostatic hyperplasia. This has been confirmed using extracts of the roots in double blind studies. A preliminary study reported that capsules made from nettle leaves had an antiallergy action in people. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Nettle is anti-asthmatic: the juice of the roots or leaves, mixed with honey or sugar, will relieve bronchial and asthmatic troubles and the dried leaves, burnt and inhaled, will have the same effect.'The seeds have also been used in consumption, the infusion of herb or seeds being taken in wineglassful doses.

In cholera infantum and other summer disorders of children, with profuse watery or mucous discharges, the following treatment gives excellent results: Rx Specific urtica, ss; water, iii. Mix. Dose, a teaspoonful, every 1 or 2 hours. It is especially applicable in chronic diseases of the colon, with increased secretion of mucus.'American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'Urtica has been employed for the general purposes of an astringent, both internally and externally, in hemorrhages, ill-conditioned ulcers, and in chronic disease of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, bowels and urinary organs, and it is generally agreed to be an efficient remedy.
