Urtica urens — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
«43 In the country it is difficult to get away from stinging nettles. We call them weeds : we belabour them with sticks : we cut them down with bill-hooks : we dig them up : and in spite of the old saw, “ Cut them in June And they come again soon, Cut them in July, You cut them down tru-ly ” they are always with us. Wh y ? Is it perhaps because they are invaluable, and must be at hand for emergencies ? Test them ! Make an infusion by pouring boiling water on stinging nettles, and cover the burn with clean linen stuped therein, and see ! The dictionary calls them “ neglected weeds with stinging hairs". And yet, no home in town or country should be without stinging-nettle tincture, Urtica urens, if only because of its magic power over Burns, for almost instant relief of pain, and rapid healing. (This applies, of course, to fairly superficial bums—" bums of the first and second degrees ”.)

It was quickly washed away, but there were extensive superficial bums, and a corneal ulcer. Good old Ruddock, in his Domestic Homoeopathy, advised : . . . and soft rag, moistened with a few drops of Urtica in water quickly wiped the pain out, and healed in a couple of days—so far as the skin was concerned. One remembers a hotel-boy, hurried into hospital, having severely scalded his face. He had to be admitted on account of shock, and Urtica was quickly applied. Next morning it was difficult to see where the scalds had been, except on edges of lips, etc., which had not been well covered. Otherwise there was no vesication, and no inflammation. A doctor who could not believe the fairy tales told him regarding this power of Urtica, was advised to " burn hts finger and try ”.
