Stinging nettle (Urtica diocia) has been a staple of herbal practitioners for centuries. At one time nettles were among the most commonly eaten late winter or early spring greens, due to their high content of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. They are also a rich source of flavonoids and chlorophyll. Nettles have traditionally been used as a tonic and for respiratory support. According to the noted 16th century herbalist Nicholas Culpeper, “when juiced, the [nettle] leaves are used to open the lungs.” Maude Grieves, the author of A Modern Herbalone of the most popular sources among herbalistsreported on the traditional practice of inhaling the smoke of burning nettle for respiratory support.

Dried nettle leaf is traditionally used as a tonifier. When carefully freeze dried, additional properties are preserved which support the sinuses. In vitro research on these constituents shows partial inhibitory effects on the biosynthesis of arachidonic acid and leukotrienes.
