Nettles for Arthritis stinging nettles reduce pain osteoarthritis "'The herb] stinging nettles may reduce the pain and disability associated with osteoarthritis," reports Lancet, the British Medical Journal, vol. 355, 2000.

Dr. Colin Randall of Plymouth U., U.K., studied 27 patients who had this condition, none of whom had used nettles before. They applied stinging nettle leaf for one week, then white deadnettle (which doesn't sting) as a placebo. They reported that "Pain and disability 'was] significantly lower after one week of treatment with the stinging nettle, and there was a reduction in their use of drugs.

The stinging was a side effect, but no apparent serious effects were observed.
