What are nettle leaf & root supplements used for?

One of the most popular uses of nettle leaf and root supplements is to reduce the uncomfortable symptoms of seasonal allergies, or “allergic rhinitis.” An increased release of histamine in the body in response to pollen causes symptoms like sneezing and itchy, watery eyes.

Can nettle root be taken as a supplement?

This is thanks to the nettle's tiny hairs that contain irritating chemicals, according to the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center (PennState Hershey). However, the root is also available in multiple forms, including extracts, tinctures, capsules, tablets, juices and teas, which can be taken as a supplement.
