Hi Blu Luna,
I recently harvested some stinging nettle from my own garden area while weeding it a few days ago. My father found it, and said this is a weed but it's stinging nettle. We should leave this right? I asked why, he said, that it was a nettle, and I came to the conclusion I could use it. I asked him, I could use it then? He told me, you could probably do something with this.
There is a lot you can do with stinging nettle.
I had found a website you may find helpful Blu-Luna that lists some of the attributes and purposes for stinging nettle. I found the site while looking into its uses, after I had found one nettle plant close to my garden while weeding.
Here is the link:

Hope you find this helpful.
