Nettle is not a cure-all, and its effectiveness depends on the condition and individual.
For serious or chronic diseases (cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disorders), modern medicine is still far more effective, targeted, and proven.
Nettle can interact with medications (like blood thinners, diuretics, or blood pressure meds).
Dosage and quality vary a lot in DIY preparations — you may not be getting consistent or safe results.
🧪 Science vs. Folk Wisdom
There’s solid scientific support for some uses of nettle, especially for:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
Allergic rhinitis
Mild arthritis
But it hasn’t been shown to outperform pharmaceuticals in clinical settings.
🧭 Bottom Line
Nettle tincture is a valuable herbal remedy when used appropriately.
It’s not a replacement for modern medicine in serious conditions.
Always use herbs with knowledge, respect, and context — ideally under the guidance of a trained herbalist or health provider.
