Nettle Root 2oz

Nettle Root (Urtica dioica – Root)

Medicinal Benefits & Uses

Nettle root is best known for its support of prostate and urinary health, particularly in aging men. Unlike nettle leaf, which is nutritive and anti-inflammatory system-wide, the root works primarily on hormonal balance and the lower urinary tract.

Primary Benefits

1. Prostate Health Support

• Traditionally used to support benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

• May help:

  • Improve urine flow

  • Reduce frequent nighttime urination

  • Ease incomplete bladder emptying

• Works by influencing sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG) and limiting excess hormonal stimulation of prostate tissue

Commonly combined with saw palmetto for synergistic effects

2. Urinary Tract Function

• Supports healthy bladder tone and function

• May reduce:

  • Urinary urgency

  • Hesitancy or weak stream

• Helps maintain comfort during urination without acting as a harsh diuretic

3. Hormonal Balance (Primarily in Men)

• May help regulate the activity of testosterone and its metabolites (such as DHT)

• Does not lower testosterone, but may reduce unwanted hormonal signaling in tissues like the prostate

4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

• Contains compounds that help moderate inflammatory pathways

• Particularly relevant for:

  • Prostate inflammation

  • Chronic pelvic or urinary discomfort

5. Mild Metabolic & Circulatory Support
