The fresh plant extract from the stinging nettle (see pages 368-70) is known in homoeopathy as Urtica mother tincture. In addition to glycosides, tannic acids and formic acid, it also contains a good quantity of silica (40 per cent of the ash constituents), the same proportion of calcium, as well as phosphorus, iron, sodium and a little sulphur.
In such cases, exudation through the skin becomes acrid and is accompanied by an unpleasant odour. This is the result of an insufficient kidney function and may in time lead to a skin eruption that itches and burns, especially at night. For these symptoms, take ten drops of Urtica mother tincture in a glass of water, sipping it during the day. In addition to Urtica, the kidneys can be further assisted with Solidago or Nephrosolid. Take sips of both remedies, alternating one with the other.
