Nettle root, from the Urtica dioica plant, has a long history of use in traditional medicine. Native to Europe, Asia, and North America, nettle has been valued for its nutritional and medicinal benefits for centuries.

The root, in particular, has been used to support prostate health and alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In traditional European medicine, nettle root was also used as a diuretic and to treat joint pain and urinary issues.

Modern research has confirmed some of these uses, highlighting nettle root’s potential in supporting urinary tract health and reducing inflammation. Today, it remains a popular herb in herbal medicine.
