Chickweed is a vibrant plant that is cooling and moistening, helping to soothe damaged tissues. It can be used to moisten dry coughs and asthma, help the waters of the body, and can gently flush the kidneys. Its moistening effect may also support hot, inflamed tissues of the body. Chickweed has been known to support the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, and is also known to regulate blood sugar levels and support a healthy microbiome. It is known and used for its ability to reduce cysts, especially ovarian cysts, and to support the lymphatic system and excess water and fat in the body.
KNOWN ACTIONS — Alterative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, astringent, carminative, demulcent, diuretic, expectorant, febrifuge, galactagogue, laxative (mild), lymphatic, modulates inflammation, nutritive, vulnerary
A NOTE ABOUT OUR STANDARDS — All of our tinctures and elixirs (except for the mushroom elixirs) are made with 100-proof alcohol (grain alcohol and local spring water) and fresh plant material. For elixirs, they are made with 100-proof alcohol, raw honey, and fresh plant material.
We source fresh plants from California, from farmers who practice organic farming or “beyond organic” farming practices. All herbs are made into extracts within 24 hours of being picked, so they are extra potent!
We use fresh plants to preserve both water- and alcohol-soluble constituents that are lost when the plant is dried. Fresh plants make for a more potent extract and preserve the life force of the plant in the season it was meant to produce in.
Tincture = alcohol + herb
Elixir = alcohol + raw honey + herb
