Pouzolzia is a genus of flowering plants in the nettle family. There are about 35 species distributed throughout the tropical world. Most are shrubs, and some are herbs. The genus was named for French botanist and plant collector Pierre Marie Casimir de Pouzolz (1785–1858).

Pouzolzia hirta is used as a medicinal herb, as well as for culinary purposes, in various African and Asian countries.

People from Galo tribe of the state of Arunachal Pradesh in India use Poulzolozia hirta, known as "Oyik" in the local language , as a part of a main food course which is consumed along with rice. Oyik is prepared with smoked beef/Gayal meat (Bos frontalis) or pork, along with dried bamboo shoots, and served at various occasions and festivals.
