Stinging Nettle (Urtica Urens) - has been used for hundreds of years to treat rheumatism (disorders of the muscles and joints), eczema, arthritis, gout, and anemia. Many people use it to treat urinary problems during the early stages of an enlarged prostate, for urinary tract infections, for kidney stones, for hay fever, or in compresses or creams for treating joint pain, sprains and strains, tendonitis, and insect bites and rheumatoid arthritis.
It is a herbaceous perennial, growing to 1-2 m tall in the summer and dying down to the ground in winter. It has very distinctively yellow, widely spreading roots.
The soft green leaves are 3-15 cm long, with a strongly serrated margin, a cordate base and an acuminate tip. Both the leaves and the stems are covered with brittle, hollow, silky hairs that were thought to contain formic acid as a defence against grazing animals; but recent research has revealed the cause of the sting to be from three chemicals - a histamine to irritate the skin, acetylcholine to bring on a burning sensation and serotonin to encourage the other two chemicals (Elliott 1997).
Bare skin brushing up against a stinging nettle plant will break the delicate defensive hairs and release the trio of chemicals, usually resulting in a temporary and painful skin rash similar to poison ivy, though the nettle's rash and duration are much weaker. It is possible, however, to evade the sting by just touching the middle of the leaf and or stroking with the hairs.
It is abundant in northern Europe and much of Asia, found widely in the countryside. It is less frequent in southern Europe and north Africa, where it is restricted by its need for moist soil. In North America it is widely distributed in Canada and the United States, where it is found in every province and state except for Hawaii and South Carolina, and also occurs locally south into northernmost Mexico.
However, in North America, the stinging nettle is markedly less common than in northern Europe. The European subspecies has also been introduced into North America. Away from its native area, the species has also been introduced to South America.
In the UK it has a strong association with human habitation and buildings. Sites of long abandoned buildings can often be deduced from the presence of nettles. This is believed to relate to elevated levels of phosphate in soils from human and animal waste. This is particularly evident in Scotland where the sites of crofts razed to the ground during the Highland Clearances can still be identified.(wikipedia.org)
