Urtica dioica L. (Urticaceae), sometimes known as stinging nettle, is a herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the phytoalimurgic vegetables group, that includes wild edible plants that were all useful in the past when food was confined. The plant is recognized for producing dermatitis when contacted, which is triggered by biochemical mediators such as histamine and acetylcholine. Because of the plant's antirheumatic, anti-infective, immuno-modulatory, anti-hyperglycemic, and allergy relief characteristics, it has lately been rediscovered as a food and medicine. This publication, which includes a botanical, phytochemical, and pharmacological synopsis of the
species, aims to stimulate the scientific community's interest in this promising plant.
