Description

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is a perennial plant originally native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia but now found worldwide. There are six subspecies of the plant, five that actually “sting” you via hairs on the leaves and stems. These hairs act like miniature hypodermic needles, injecting you with histamine, folic acid, and other substances that cause localized redness and pain.

These properties are believed by some to have a beneficial effect. In early Anglo-Saxon and European folk medicine, stinging nettle was used to treat rheumatism, influenza, and gastrointestinal and urinary tract disorder. In some cases, the plant would be used to make a medicinal tonic; in others, the leaves and stems were applied to the skin to treat muscle or joint pain.

In traditional Chinese medicine, stinging nettles are known as xun mao. They are also sometimes referred to as Chinese nettle, devil’s leaf, or, simply, nettles.

In addition to their medical properties, nettles are used for food, animal feed, and the manufacture of nettle beer popular in England.
