White Dead Nettle
Lamium album
(White Archangel, Blind Nettle)

Medicinal Usage

Although valued for the potential to help support symptoms of internal disorders, particularly menstrual problems, archangel was also applied externally to open wounds to staunch bleeding and help reduce inflammation. The dried leaves, made into a tea, help promoted perspiration. Gerard said that the sugared flowers could make the "heart merry" and "refresh the vital spirits."

Culinary Usage

The young leaves of archangel were used in salads and soups, and cooked as a vegetable.

Miscellaneous

Although archangel resembles the stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), it is not related; the leaves do not sting. As it flowers around May 8 in the Julian calendar, the day dedicated to Michael the Archangel, it came to be known as archangel. The plant was listed by Aelfric.

General Preparation and Dosage

As an expectorant, tea is made from 1 g of the dry material, often sweetened with honey, and sipped several times a day. The recommended daily dose is 3 g. The dose for one sitz-bath is 5 g of the dry flowers.

White Dead Nettle is an herbal health used on the skin for mild redness and soreness. It is used by mouth for dissolving phlegm during a cold, or for stomach complaints such as gas or upset stomach. It can also be used for support of menopausal women.

Other names for White Dead Nettle include: Laminium album, archangel, Oleisse Taubnesselblueten, and fleurs d'ortie blance.

Nettle has diuretic, cleansing, antihistimaine and anti-inflammatory properties. Consider using nettle for hay fever, joint pain and rheumatism, anemia and weak blood, bladder health and water retention, and joint pain. The rhizomes are increasingly being tried to help support prostate inflammation and improve symptoms like painful urination that occur with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).

Other names for White Dead Nettle include: Laminium album, archangel, Oleisse Taubnesselblueten, and fleurs d'ortie blance.

Externally, white dead nettle creams and salves can be used on cuts and grazes and also make a soothing, astringent lotion for piles and burns.

These days the herb can be used to help support menstrual and urinary disorders. White dead nettle tea can be helpful for bladder concerns and in prostatitis and it can speed recovery after surgery for enlarged prostate. It may be used to support heavy periods and used as a douche for vaginal discharges.

White dead nettle also has some action on the bowel, helping to regulate function, so it can be useful for both constipation and diarrhoea.

White dead nettle - so called because its leaves resemble those of the stinging nettle, although it does not sting - is a common wild plant often growing as a weed in suburban gardens. It is no relation of the stinging nettle, but belongs to the mint family and takes its botanical name from the Greek word for "throat", which was supposedly descriptive of the flowers.

The plant can also be eaten, with the young leaves and plant tips added to salads or cooked like spinach and served as a vegetable.

White Dead Nettle can be used to help support respiratory complaints (to help remove phlegm and catarrh) and stomach disorders (flatulence, stomach health, dyspepia). It has been used specifically in case of leucorrhoea (fluor albus), but also to help support menopausal women and urogenital problems. It is considered to be a diuretic and "blood cleanser". Poultices are applied to swellings, bruises, varicose veins and other skin inflammations. The herb is said to be effective against dandruff and an itching scalp and is included in tea mixtures and sedative teas. Extracts are used in lotions, shampoos, rinses and baths.

White Dead Nettle
Lamium album L.

Family: Lamiaceae.

Other Names: Ortie blanche (French); Weiße Taubnessel (German); orbca bianca (Italian); ortiga blanca (Spanish).

Description: White dead nettle is a perennial herb (up to 0.5 m), with branched rhizomes and erect branches bearing heart-shaped, toothed leaves in opposite pairs. The white, tubular and two-lipped flowers form small clusters in the axils of the upper leaves. When not in flower, it resembles nettle (Urtica dioica), hence the common name.

Origin: Europe and Asia; naturalised in parts of North America. Commercial harvesting is done in eastern Europe.

Parts Used: Dried flowering tops (white dead nettle herb - Lamii albi herba) or the dried petals (white dead nettle flower - Lamii albi flos; synon. Flores Lamii albi).

Therapeutic Category: Traditional expectorant.

Active Ingredients: The main active ingredients are considered to be iridoid glycosides (lamalbide is a major compound, together with 6-desoxylamalbide, caryoptin and albos ides A and B). It is also said to contain mucilage, triterpene saponins, tannins (5-14%), phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, lamalboside, acteoside) and flavonoids (rutin, quercetin, kaempferol). However, some of these compounds have not been thoroughly studied in L. album.

Health Effects: Experiments have shown anti-inflammatory, weak diuretic and anti-germ activity which could be attributed to the iridoids, tannins and triterpene saponins.

Status: Traditional health; Pharm.; Comm. E+ (flowers only).

  Whtie Dead Nettle - prostate

My husband was suffering with severe pain and bleeding due to a prostate problem. He refuses to take conventional medication. White Dead Nettle has worked wonders as he hasn't bled since he started taking it and only suffers pain now if he overdoes it and forgets to take the tincture.
