RE: Herbal Allies 1. Cheerful Chickweed
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?
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!
