Chickweed has medicinal properties too. It's good as a remedy for
itchy rashes. The active ingredient in it helps to prevent the
degeneration of cells. It reduces inflamation and promotes healing.
Here's a simple recipie from by Jude C.
Williams, M.H.
Chickweed Salve-
Add about 1 pound of chickweed to 1 pt. of olive oil. Heat for 3 hrs
in an oven set at 150 degrees. Strain and add 1-1/2 oz melted beeswax
to the mixture. Stir while it is cooling as it will thicken. A few
drops of vit. E can be added as a preservative.
I recommend the above book if you're looking for any herbal recipies.
It's loaded.
