Framed Print of Stinging Nettle, Medicinal Plant, 1737
"A Curious Herbal", Plate 12. The nettle was used for medicinal purposes in Ancient Greece and has been used in traditional African, Indian, and Native American medicine. Blackwell notes the use of the roots, leaves, and seeds for internal bleeding, jaundice, and coughs, and as a diuretic. It is still used as a therapy for urinary tract diseases, kidney stones, and rheumatic ailments. Stinging nettle or common nettle, Urtica dioica, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant, native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa, and North America, and is the best known member of the nettle genus Urtica. Stinging nettle has been used for hundreds of years to treat painful muscles and joints, eczema, arthritis, gout, and anemia. Today, many people use it to treat urinary problems during the early stages of an enlarged prostate, for urinary tract infections, for hay fever, or in compresses or creams for treating joint pain, sprains and strains, tendonitis, and insect bites. Elizabeth Blackwell (1707-1758) was a famed Scottish illustrator and author who was best known as both the artist and engraver for the plates of "A Curious Herbal" (1737). © NLM / Science Source
