Chickweed Herb

Bulk Dried Herb • 75% filled Gallon Glass Apothecary Jar • 6–12+ Month Supply

The soothing green plant for heat, skin, and fluid balance.
Chickweed (Stellaria media) is one of herbalism’s most beloved cooling and demulcent greens, a tender plant with surprisingly powerful actions. Traditionally used to calm irritated tissues, support healthy fluid metabolism, and comfort inflamed or itchy skin, chickweed is the botanical equivalent of aloe vera… but systemic.

Holistic Benefits & Body Systems Supported

Skin Calm & Itch Relief
Rich in soothing mucilage, saponins, and flavonoids, chickweed has long been used for itchy, inflamed, or reactive skin — internally and topically.

Lymphatic & Fluid Balance Support
Traditionally valued for supporting healthy lymph movement and fluid distribution, especially where stagnation or puffiness is present.

Metabolic & Weight Ecology Support
Historically included in formulas supporting lipid metabolism and gentle weight balance — not as a stimulant, but through fluid and tissue regulation.

Digestive & Mucosal Soothing
Demulcent compounds help calm irritated digestive tissues and support mucosal integrity.

Cooling Anti-Inflammatory Action
Energetically cooling, chickweed is used in heat-associated conditions: redness, swelling, irritation, and inflammatory states.

Versatile Uses Across Herbal Practice

Skin Salves & Creams
One of the most classic herbal salve plants — oil infusion delivers itch-soothing, anti-inflammatory compounds to eczema, rashes, bites, and dryness.

Cooling Teas & Infusions
Gentle green infusion used in traditional detox, lymph, and metabolic blends.

Fresh or Rehydrated Poultices
Applied to irritated skin, stings, minor burns, or swelling areas.

Bath & Soak Therapy
Decoction added to baths for full-body itch and irritation relief.

Lymph & Skin Tinctures
Alcohol extraction captures saponins and flavonoids for internal formulas.

Scalp & Skin Rinses
Used in dandruff, irritation, and sensitive scalp blends.

Herbal Oils
Infused into carrier oils for massage, lymphatic oils, and soothing body treatments.
