I have only tried using stinging nettle as an anti arthritis herb, rheumatoid pain relief, on my hands, wrists and ankles. At the time, I could not get to a doctor, but I could get to a field of fresh stinging nettles. I wish I could have gone to a doctor first.

Anyway, I brushed my aching joints across the nettle leaves. God, did it hurt. Actually, in the level of pain, bee stings and paper cuts are much worse. Within a few minutes, I realized that the only pain I was feeling was the nettle sting and not the aches in my joints. Resist the urge to scratch. If you use fresh nettles continually, you get used to the pain.

Another thing I would do is drink at least one cup of nettle tea a day. I often made my own, but there are delicious and nutritious ready made nettle teas available. Nettle is an overall tonic and blood purifier as well as an anti arthritis herb, rheumatoid or swollen joints. I drank it straight, but you might prefer adding honey or crown sugar.
