Though the name sounds painful, stinging nettle has actually been used medicinally throughout history, and the perennial plant can be found throughout the world. Often used to produce nettle tea, nettles have a similar nutritional content as spinach and provide plenty of vitamin C and antioxidants to keep you healthy. Today, stinging nettle is often used to treat urinary tract infections and the symptoms of hay fever, as well as arthritis pain. Just make sure to thoroughly soak and rinse the leaves before making tea so that the chemicals that cause the stings become neutralized and harmless.
