EXPLORING THE LOCAL ANESTHETIC POTENTIAL OF URTICA DIOICA: PHYTOCHEMICAL BASIS AND PHARMACOLOGICAL INSIGHTS
Dr. Gunjan Jain*, Dr. Neha Mishra
Abstract Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) is a medicinal plant widely recognized for its diverse pharmacological properties. While its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects are well documented, emerging evidence suggests a potential local anesthetic role mediated by its bioactive constituents. This review provides a formal synthesis of the phytochemical composition of Urtica dioica and critically emphasizes its possible mechanisms and applications as a local anesthetic agent. The discussion integrates traditional usage with modern pharmacological insights, highlighting future research directions. Keywords: Urtica Dioica, Local Anesthetic Effect, Stinging Nettle.
