Over 800 plant remedies can reportedly improve glycemic control.[diabetes] Among them, nettle (Urtica dioica, Urticaceae) has many beneficial effects. Its leaves contain may important compounds. Nettle is anti-hyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiproliferative [against”cancer”], immunomodulatory, diuretic, anti-allergic, antimicrobial, anti-ulcer, and analgesic, and slows platelet aggregation[as aspirin does in a very proven way]

Nettle is nontoxic in vivo, and no significant side effects have been reported in human studies. Allergic reactions are always possible as with any herb/drug but are probably rare.
No drug interactions have been reported
