I had a mug of nettle (and ginger) tea yesterday. It was quite nice actually. Didn't give me a sore throat either.
I'm awake late with tingly legs from an onslaught of hundreds of the buggers earlier in the day.
My grandad many years ago had stinging therapy around an ankle injury 50 years after sustaining it in the war. He swore by it (and probably during!), and it did increase mobility immediately following a dose.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that North American indigenous people (on the east coast) would rub stinging nettles into their calves when they became fatigued while running long distances (the horse only arrived as a means of transport after the Europeans colonised the place).
