Urtica pilulifera
Annual nettle of Mediterranean regions; more pungent sting than U. dioica; used in folk medicine similarly to common nettle but also as flagellation treatment for arthritis.
Roman Nettle (Urtica pilulifera) is a Mediterranean annual nettle with a more pungent sting than common nettle, traditionally used in urtication therapy for arthritis and as a nutritive tonic. Its primary active compounds include formic acid, histamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, quercetin, and caffeic acid, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and analgesic effects.
The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Roman Nettle are mediated by histamine and serotonin release upon stinging, which activates local immune responses and modulates pain pathways via TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors. Formic acid contributes to the stinging sensation and may inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis. Quercetin and caffeic acid provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions through NF-κB pathway inhibition and free radical scavenging. The diuretic effect is attributed to increased renal blood flow and electrolyte excretion, likely due to flavonoid and potassium content.
