Nettle, also known in Vietnam as ramie leaf plant, is a familiar medicinal herb. Its roots and leaves contain vitamins A, B, C, and E, iron, zinc, copper, and the flavonoid rutin – a notable compound with strong antioxidant properties that helps protect cells. With its cooling nature and sweet taste, the plant is used to support pregnancy, stop bleeding, clear heat, promote urination, and reduce bone and joint pain. The leaves also contain chlorogenic acid, which provides antibacterial and antifungal effects.
