Curiosities:

The Nettle is a wild medicinal plant of the Urticaceae family, common in Portugal. Originally from Europe, the Nettle likes temperate climates and fertile soils with plenty of vegetation. Although it is easily found in Europe, the Nettle also grows well in North American, African and Asian countries. In the 1st century A.D., this plant was used by the Greeks in the famous method of “urtication” that allowed the improvement of male sexual potency.

In Roman battles, Nettle was even used to withstand the cold. Imagine that the Romans used it to cause burning on the skin and thus combat the feeling of cold. This strategy involved rubbing some nettle leaves on the body to cause hives. This would give rise to a burning sensation that would help resist low temperatures. Hence, the origin of the Latin term “Urtica” translates into the expression “to burn”. In Egypt, the Nettle was used to relieve several types of pain.
