Treatment Tips for Stinging Nettle
Some considerations for people taking stinging nettle include:
- If you decide to take a stinging nettle supplement, it is important to choose a trustworthy manufacturer (since supplements are not regulated as closely as drugs). Your pharmacist is a good source for information about which supplement manufacturers are most reliable. Products that are more expensive are not necessarily of a higher quality.
- If you have any chronic health problems or take any prescription medications, it is probably a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before taking stinging nettle.
- If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or stinging nettle dosing in general, please talk with your healthcare provider.
