Stinging nettle - The Herbal World's Therapeutic Diva

Spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. May is quickly approaching, which reminded me that now is the best time to collect young stinging nettle (Urtica dioica). The stinging nettle is commonly associated with an unpleasant encounter with nature. While not so easy to harvest, stinging nettle is one of nature's most beneficial plants. Because it absorbs pollutants, it also cleans the air and soil. It should not be collected near roads or polluted areas. Stinging nettle is beneficial because it is a nutrient-dense herb, and it is also a food, like the dandelion.
