Support for Urinary Problems and Allergies Nettles, specifically stinging nettles, have a long history of use. It has been used internally as a diuretic and for other problems, and applied externally for stimulation. In modern times nettles have been used for several different conditions.

One of the most popular applications for nettle is for urinary problems related to enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH]). It is often combined with saw palmetto to help with reduced urinary flow, post urination dripping and the constant urge to urinate. Nettle has a broader application to urinary tract infections and is believed to be beneficial in preventing kidney stones.
