How can the herb nettle help in preventing gout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some research: Well the research is slim but it is believed that nettle is a leaf plant that has properties to decrease inflammation and possibily decrease uric acid production. (the crystal that causes gout) see a doctor that can suggest a dose for you and tell you if it is even a good idea to take this plant extract.
