Title: Stinging nettle
Post by: MalloryL02 on August 30, 2019, 03:58:40 PM

Do you know if Thal minors would be okay taking nettle leaf supplements daily? I have interstitial  cystitis, which is an incurable bladder problem that affects the lining of the bladder causing you to pee 50-60 times a day (sometimes more). It’s also caused a few more health problems but histamine intolerance can really be helped with stinging nettle and my bladder problem could possibly also benefit from it. I just wanted to see your thoughts on stinging nettle and thal minor.
Thanks!

Stinging nettle has very few side effects and those it does have in some people are quite mild. There is no reason to not take it.
