Brilio.net - Indonesia has a beautiful panorama surrounded by savanna and tall trees. Many endemic plants grow abundantly in forests in Indonesia. Some of the plants that grow have good properties for the body and some are poisonous.
Of the many endemic plants that are famous for their benefits, there is a plant called Nettle Leaves or the scientific language is Urtica Dioca. These leaves often appear as weeds in the yard.
Talking about Nettle Leaves, the video uploaded by the TikTok account @azis.abdullah shows what it would be like if someone were exposed to Nettle Leaves.

"If you get hit by these leaves, it's not itchy, it's more like burning, like being hit by burning coals, if you don't get used to it, your skin will get bumpy bumps like an insect bite." he wrote, quoted by brilio.net from @azis.abdullah, Sunday (21/4).
Nettle leaves have a wide shape, the color is green. On the surface of the leaves there are fine spines. If you get pricked by a thorn, you not only feel pain, but also stinging, a burning sensation, and even a red color on the surface of the skin.
This can be seen when they attach these leaves to their bodies. The first friend of a man who was smeared was seen screaming in pain while enduring the effects of the leaves.

Next, a woman who was sitting rolled up her trousers to above her knees. He wanted to try the leaves with the help of local residents to apply them. Suddenly this woman screamed in pain.
However, this did not happen with local residents who smeared the leaves. They look relaxed and as if nothing has happened to the side effects of the leaves.

In the video it is also explained that even though it feels like it is burning when it hits it, afterward it makes the body feel lighter.
"Even though it really hurts when I get there, after that my body feels light and the aches disappear. I think it's suitable for climbers when they come down to use these leaves to get rid of the aches," he said.

Despite the fact that it makes the skin sore, as mentioned above, these leaves have benefits for the body . If it has been processed properly, such as cooking, freezing, drying, or turning it into a supplement, these leaves can provide various benefits.

"The nettle leaves itch to the bone," said the account @fransdafa.
"If the impact is burning heat, won't the hot feeling overpower the sore feeling? So you won't feel sore anymore because the tired sensor will lose to the heat sensor from the leaves?," said the account @ainisaay.
"It's not just itchy, but the pain feels like it's getting into the bones," wrote the account @yusuf_wayka.
@azis.abdullah If you get hit by these leaves, it's not itchy, it's more like being burned by burning coals, if you don't get used to it, your skin will get bumps like an insect bite. Even though it really hurts when I get it, after that my body feels light, the aches and pains disappear. It seems suitable for climbers when descending, using these leaves so that the soreness goes away #daungatal #daunjancuk #gunungbinaiya #sevensummits #sevensummitindonesia original sound - Azis Abdullah
