First, the stingy substances in nettles are mainly formic acid, as in an ant sting, and histamines, together with some other less important chemicals. Being an acid, it follows that the cure for treating a nettle sting has to be an alkaline substance to neutralise the acid. So, do dock leaves contain an alkaline substance or some natural, fast-acting antihistamine?
The answer is no; dock leaves do not contain any known alkaline substance or antihistamine. In fact, if anything, dock leaves are themselves slightly acid.
