                                                            Don’t confuse Stinging Nettle (Uritica dioica) with white dead nettle (Lamium album)!

                                                            Who should avoid Nettle and Nettle (Urtica dioica)  Products?
                                                            • Due to possible contractions of the uterus, stinging nettle may be unsafe to take during pregnancy! Contractions of the uterus can cause a miscarriage or cause women to go into early labor!
                                                            • The above ground parts of stinging nettle increase urine flow. If you have kidney problems, discuss stinging nettle with your healthcare provider before starting it.

                                                            Known Interactions of Nettle (Urtica dioica):
                                                            • Stinging nettle may increase free testosterone and may, therefore, worsen any health conditions characterized by too much testosterone, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)!
                                                            • Stinging nettle can also amplify the effects of diuretics.
                                                            • This same diuretic effect can reduce the concentration of lithium in the blood, undermining the efficacy of the drug!
