nettle leaf

Nettle, also called stinging nettle, is a perennial herb with a natural range that includes North America, Europe, Asia and North Africa. Although the herb can easily become an invasive weed and has a reputation for delivering a “sting” when brushed against, its chemical composition makes it a wonderful companion plant and natural fertilizer due to its nitrogen content.

The herb is also a nutritional ally for people. Nettle is abundant in fiber, protein, calcium, iron, magnesium and vitamins A and K. The herb also contains soy isoflavones that, like the prescription medication finasteride, inhibit 5 alpha-reductase type 2, an enzyme that contributes to male pattern balding.
