Question: What Do You Put On Nettle Stings!?
To stop them stinging so much
[[other than doc leaves]]Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Vinegar is a good natural remedy, otherwise witch hazel or tea tree oil!.

Or just put up with the sting, it will fade quite quickly (within the hour normally)Www@Answer-Health@Com

The topical irritation is treated by gently washing the affected area with mild soapy water!. Treatment with systemic antihistamines and topical steroids may be of benefit!. Other side effects of nettle are rare but include allergic effects such as edema, oliguria and gastric irritation!.
This is from the adverse reactions section on this site:

A pleasant soak in a baking soda bath will relax you and help relieve the itch!. Scratching makes it feel worse and can abrade the skin!. Distract yourself with other activities!. You won't even notice when the discomfort dissipates within half a day or so!. I suffer these "stings" when I'm weeding my garden!.
Hope you're feeling better soon!. :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

For a natural remedy then just wrap a simple common garden dock leaf around the affected area, they are always found where nettles are and are purely used for this purpose!Www@Answer-Health@Com
