Chickweed Tincture

Chickweed is traditionally known for its cooling and soothing nature, making it especially supportive during times of inflammation, heat, or internal congestion.

Often used as both a food and a medicine, it has long been valued for supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes, lymphatic movement, and overall nourishment. Its gentle action makes it well-suited for daily use, particularly during seasonal transitions.

In traditional practices, chickweed has also been used as a mild diuretic and for respiratory support.

• Chickweed is one of the first plants to appear in early spring.
• It has been used traditionally as both a food and a medicine.
• It thrives in cool, moist conditions and often disappears as temperatures rise.
• Often considered a “spring tonic” herb for seasonal renewal.

Traditionally used to support:

• Cooling and calming inflammatory patterns
• Lymphatic movement and detoxification
• Skin health and tissue support
• Digestive and metabolic balance
• General nourishment during seasonal transitions

Take 1–2 dropperfuls (30–60 drops) 1–3 times daily.

Best taken consistently for cumulative support.

Can be taken directly or added to water or tea.

Flavonoids
Provide antioxidant support and help protect against oxidative stress.

Saponins
Traditionally associated with supporting lymphatic movement and detoxification.

Phenolic acids
Studied for their role in supporting inflammatory balance.

Mucilage
Offers soothing support to irritated tissues and contributes to its cooling nature.

This tincture may be especially supportive for:

• Those seeking gentle detox and lymphatic support
• Individuals looking to support skin health from within
• Those experiencing inflammation or internal heat
• Individuals wanting a nourishing spring tonic
• Anyone looking for a mild, plant-based daily support herb

Chickweed (Stellaria media) has been studied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential metabolic-supportive properties.

Research has explored its flavonoids, saponins, and phenolic compounds for their role in supporting inflammatory balance, oxidative stress, and metabolic function.

Much of the research is still emerging, and many studies are preliminary. As with many botanicals, its effects are often gentle and cumulative.
