Description:
Stinging nettle scientifically called as Urtica dioica and also called as Great stinging nettle, common nettle, nettle, is a herbaceous (without woody stems) perennial flowering plant. It is native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa, and North America, and is the best known member of the nettle genus Urtica. The plants have stinging hairs (trichomes), whose tips come off when touched, transforming the hair into a needle that will inject several chemicals: acetylcholine, histamine, 5-HT or serotonin, and possibly formic acid. This mixture of chemical compounds cause a sting or paresthesia from which the species derives its common name, as well as the colloquial names burn nettle, burn weed, burn hazel or "7-minute-itch".
Its medicinal properties are that it has stimulating action on the kidneys and bladder. Nettle shoots, eating during spring, helps to clean the body of toxins. Stinging nettle is used to treat inflammation of the urinary tract and kidney gravel. Stinging nettle improves the excretion of uric acid thereby reducing the symptoms of gout and arthritis. Stinging nettle leaves have diuretic properties. Nettle root is also used for the treatment of urinary retention caused by prostate enlargement. Lectins present in stinging nettle appear to stimulate the immune system.
