Chickweed
Botanical Name: Stellaria medica
 
Chickweed has the ability to reduce inflammation and promote healing for both internal and external flare-ups. Traditionally used as a remedy for obesity and blood cleansing, chickweed tea is known for its therapeutic benefits. When applied topically as a poultice, it helps cool and soothe minor burns, skin irritations, rashes, boils, abscesses, dryness, and itching. Additionally, chickweed serves as a mild and effective laxative for relieving constipation and addressing stomach and bowel issues. It can also be given to animals to aid in the elimination of hairballs.
