I first learned about Stinging Nettle when I was in France and I stepped in it! 

It was awful, I thought I had 100 bee stings on my feet.  The people I was with said in about 30 minutes that the stinging would be gone and it was.  I was also told that they made a tea with the Nettle.  I was in a store the other day and I saw that it did exist!  Not sure after my experience with the stinging on my feet if I wanted to try the tea.....

 

 

 

From the website:

Nettle (Urtica dioica) is more commonly known as "stinging nettle" due to the fine hairs on the leaves and stems that are painful to the touch. Despite its prickly demeanor, nettle has staked its claim in herbal tradition as both a culinary and beneficial herb, with the aerial parts of the plant being traditionally used to support joint health.*
Alvita Nettle Tea is made with premium-quality, organic nettle leaves, and has a refreshing, grassy flavor.
