White Nettle (Lamium album), also known as dead-nettle, has a history of use in traditional European herbal medicine. While it is primarily recognized for its applications in supporting urinary tract health, alleviating respiratory complaints, and addressing minor bleeding or inflammation, there are traditional claims suggesting it can help with fatigue or low energy. These claims are often linked to its mild tonic and nutritive properties, as White Nettle contains vitamins, minerals, and mild astringent compounds. Folk practitioners have sometimes recommended the herb as a general “restorative” or for “building the blood,” which, in traditional systems, was associated with increased vitality or energy. However, these uses are not well-documented in authoritative herbal texts, and there is little specificity regarding dosage or preparation for fatigue.

From a scientific perspective, there is no robust clinical evidence to support the use of White Nettle for improving energy levels or treating fatigue. No published trials have directly examined its effects on energy, stamina, or related measures in humans. Modern herbal medicine rarely lists White Nettle for this indication. Therefore, while there is some weak traditional precedent for its use in cases of low energy, this is not a well-established or evidence-based application.
