Due to the large number of biologically active compounds, nettle has various pharmacological activities, such as antibacterial, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, anticancer, antiallergic activities. Nettle leaf and root extracts have been the subject of many studies, so its pharmacological activities have been known for a long time. Through studies, it has been proven that nettle is traditionally used in the control of cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension. It has also been proven that nettle leaf extract has a beneficial effect on blood glucose levels, as well as being used as an anti-inflammatory drug in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. One very important fact is that the extract of this plant showed a significant effect in the treatment of breast cancer, especially in patients who were on paclitaxel therapy, because nettle increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to the drug paclitaxel. Nettle can be recommended for increased menstrual bleeding, for bleeding from hemorrhoids, as a diuretic (it enhances the expulsion of fluid from the body, so it can also be recommended for urinary infections of different types), and it has also been used as an aid in the treatment of benign or malignant prostate adenoma<\/span><\/span> .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
