Chickweed is a highly nutritious herb with many vitamins and minerals, it is a storehouse of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, silicon, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, protein sodium, copper, carotenes, and vitamins B and C! Moreover it has been used for centuries as a health tonic. In 1653, the great English herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, recommended it in a soothing and healing ointment, and the North American Chippewa and Iroquois tribes used it as an eyewash and wound poultice.
Chickweed is best known for it’s ability to cool inflammation and speed healing for internal or external flare-ups. Herbalists often recommend it as a poultice or ointment for skin irritations, skin abscesses and boils.
A Case Of Chickweed And Eczema
“At one of Dr. Christopher’s lectures, a woman brought a bundle to the front, a little baby all wrapped up. She unwrapped the bundle, and as she did, eczema scalings flew up all around dusted Dr. Christopher’s dark suit. The baby was simply covered with eczema; he described it as horrible to see. The family had adopted the baby six months previous, and it was entirely covered with the scaling, evidently from birth. The family had employed their usual doctor, a pediatrician, and a skin specialist, but no one could do a thing for the little sufferer. Dr. Christopher told the mother to fill a bassinet with warm Chickweed tea and to bathe the baby, pouring the tea over the head that could not be submerged. The mother was also to give Chickweed tea internally, in small amounts.Within just a matter of days, the baby began to improve, and after a week or two, the eczema disappeared completely, though the child had suffered with it so many months.” The Complete Writings Of Dr. John Christopher C.D.

Chickweed is one of the herbs most praised by Turkish gypsies, not only for its edible qualities but also its potent medicinal properties, as it contains many of the soothing and tonic powers of slippery elm. It is an excellent addition to poultices, ointments, and salves. It not only helps in decreasing pain, but it helps reduce swelling as well.
Interestingly enough Chickweed is a direct source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a derivative fatty acid of omega-6 fatty acid, which is rarely found in food sources. Moreover Chickweed has been used for helping to dissolve plaque in blood vessels as well as other fatty substances that can be found in the body. Chickweed acts as an antibiotic in the blood, and has been recommended as an anticancer herb.
Other Benefits Of Chickweed
“Chickweed can benefit the whole system, as it soothes and cleanses and paves the way for healing of toxicity-related problems, such as impotency, poor circulation, psoriasis, lung inflammation and so on. It is particularly noted for being an effective reducing herb; some smilingly say that any good green herb, if used generously in the diet, is good for reducing (Lev: 165), but others say that it really does remove excess fat, because it is mildly diuretic and laxative. We also think that because it supplies necessary nutrients that the obese person might be lacking; the body then releases the fat which the body has tenaciously held, thinking that it is still hungry and in need of the missing nutrients. At any rate, both in legend and in current herbal practice, Chickweed is considered an excellent reducing remedy.” The Complete Writings Of Dr. John Christopher C.D. Rom
