There is the small and the large nettle. Both have a four-edged stem and opposite arranged oblong heart-shaped or ovate leaves.⠀⠀⠀

The vesica piscis belongs to sacred geometry and is a precursor to the flower of life. It is formed from the intersection of two circles of the same size, with the center of one circle lying on the circle line of the other circle. All cell division processes begin with such an overlap. Vulva, mouth, eyes also have the shape of this overlap. Roughly speaking, the symbol means two becomes three. The vulva is the gateway through which we are all born. Therefore, the symbol is also considered a female creation symbol.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Interestingly, nettle leaves and seeds are said to harmonize the female cycle, increase fertility and libido, help with menopausal symptoms, urinary tract diseases and iron deficiency (which many women have during their periods). Likewise for prostate complaints, rheumatic complaints and skin disorders.

Spring cures involve taking one tablespoon of sap three times a day for four to six weeks.⠀
