The white dead-nettle (Lamium album) belongs to the Lamiaceae family. In contrast to the stinging-nettle, it has no stinging hairs and is not directly related to it. The similarity of its leaves to that of the stinging-nettle has earned the species the “nettle” part of its English name. The dead-nettle is weakly diuretic. Its anti-inflammatory effect has been proven by experiments on animals. This effect is mainly used to treat inflammation of the mouth and throat.
