Chickweed is a little known herb which has a wide variety of
medicinal and wellness uses. It is an edible plant which can be
used as a table vegetable and also to create teas, or "green
drinks". It is quite high in Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and
potassium as well.
Chickweed is a contact healing herb that relieves pain in
addition to stimulating healing as soon as it's applied. It can
be used for both internal and external healing and has even
been used throughout history to stop bleeding in the stomach
and bowels.
It is also an excellent addition to ointments, poultices and
salves. It not only decreases pain, but also helps to reduce
swelling such as with torn ligaments. It is especially useful
for this when mixed with pure aloe vera juice which helps
penetrate all three layers of the skin. This in turn allows the
chickweed to reach the underlying damaged areas and begin
removing the pain and starting the healing process.
Chickweed in tea form is excellent for use as an acne wash,
and it can even be added to a bath to help with sores, rashes,
boils and burns.
This herb is also excellent for blood vessels and your
circulatory system. Taken internally it helps purify the blood
and carry out toxins, and is even been known to help with blood
poisoning. It also dissolves plaque in blood vessels, as well
as dissolving fatty tumors and substances then removing them
from the body.
Chickweed is also a little known herb which helps with
weight loss. It actually works as an appetite depressant and is
used in many weight loss herbal combinations.
