Zimbabwe Context
Stinging nettle grows wild along riverbanks in the Eastern Highlands and is harvested for kidney tea. Watermelon, widely grown in communal farming areas across Mashonaland, serves as a natural diuretic and kidney-cleansing food. Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), introduced but now naturalised in Zimbabwe's cooler highland areas, is used for urinary tract health by traditional practitioners in Nyanga and Chimanimani.
