Nettle, whose Latin name means 'Urtica' to burn, is from the nettle family. Its homeland is the Mediterranean. It likes temperate climates. It grows easily in almost every region of our country. It is believed that drinking nettle tea by boiling the dried nettle leaves among the public cleans the blood, is good for diabetes, relieves rheumatism pain, heals wounds, diuretic, is good for cough, and strengthens the immune system.

Stinging nettle is a nutritious plant popular in Western herbal medicine. Studies suggest that it may reduce inflammation, hay fever symptoms, blood pressure and blood sugar levels — among other benefits. Stinging nettle has been used for hundreds of years to treat painful muscles and joints, eczema, arthritis, gout, and anemia. Today, many people use it to treat urinary problems during the early stages of an enlarged prostate (called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH).
