Stinging Nettle (Urtica Dioica) - If you have come in to contact with this herb out in the woods, you won't forget the stinging nettle. This herb plant is covered with small hairs that release a painful, stinging chemical when they come into contact with skin. Fortunately, drying or cooking removes the stinging effect of the leaves. Stinging nettle is used in salt-reduced diets and the young shoots are rich in iron. For the best flavor and nutritional content, pick the top 4 to 5 inches of new nettle growth in the spring, before the plants flower. Stinging nettle also has many medicinal properties. Because of its many nutrients, stinging nettle is traditionally used as a spring tonic. It is a slow-acting nutritive herb that gently cleanses the body of metabolic wastes. It is one of the safest alternatives, especially in the treatment of chronic disorders that require long-term treatment. It has a gentle, stimulating effect on the lymphatic system, enhancing the excretion of wastes through the kidneys.
