Do Dock Leaves help a Stinging Nettle sting?

Dock leaves don’t help at all really because I tried it once and it didn’t work it still kept on stinging untill one day my mum said that the stem would stop it from stinging but not cure it so I stung myself on purpose with a stinging nettle and it worked. A long time after i saw that drugs worked if you belive that they work. so my question was “Do Dock Leaves count as drugs?” Please sombody give me an explanation. Thanks
