Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

White Dead Nettle (Lamium album) has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, particularly for supporting urinary and bladder health. Folk medicine has employed the flowers and aerial parts of the plant for their purported anti-inflammatory, astringent, and diuretic properties. Traditional herbalists recommended White Dead Nettle infusions or teas to soothe irritated mucous membranes of the urinary tract, alleviate mild urinary discomfort, and promote urination in cases of mild bladder irritation. The astringent nature of the plant was believed to help tone the tissues of the urinary system.

However, scientific research on White Dead Nettle’s efficacy for bladder health is limited. There are a few in vitro and animal studies suggesting mild anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, but these are not directly linked to bladder function in humans. No high-quality clinical trials have confirmed its efficacy or safety for urinary or bladder conditions.

In summary, the use of White Dead Nettle flower to support the bladder is primarily based on traditional knowledge and anecdotal reports, with minimal scientific validation. Its inclusion in herbal blends for urinary health reflects this historical use, rather than a foundation of modern clinical evidence.
