RE: Herbal Allies 1. Cheerful Chickweed

in #ecotrain7 years ago (edited)

I’ll be following with interest! Getting better acquainted with herbs and their many uses is on my long-range to do list!

How do you prepare and use chickweed as the topical application for skin issues?

Sort:  

Very good question! The best way is to crush the fresh plant leaves and juicy stems (such as by chopping or using a mortar and pestle) and apply as a poultice directly to the rash area. I have also done this and saved for later use by freezing in bits in ice cube trays... and then thawing out to use when needed.

In my practice, when outside a quick chew works great if you get bit too!
