    perennial plant known as stinging nettle with skin-irritating hairs

    Urtica dioica, commonly known as stinging nettle, is a perennial flowering plant known for its stinging hairs that can cause skin irritation upon contact. It has been traditionally used in herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, and recent studies suggest it may also promote hair growth by stimulating the scalp and improving blood circulation.
