Stinging nettle is a perennial plant known for its stinging hairs that can cause a painful sensation when touched. It typically grows in temperate regions and is found in a variety of habitats including woodlands, grasslands, and along riverbanks. The plant has heart-shaped leaves with serrated edges and produces small, greenish flowers. Despite its sting, stinging nettle has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat various ailments such as arthritis, allergies, and skin conditions. It is also consumed as a nutritious food, rich in vitamins A and C, iron, and protein.
