Chickweed (Stellaria Media)

The cooling skin soother — itch relief, inflammation, and gentle internal cleanse.

Chickweed (Stellaria media) is a humble yet remarkably effective herb with a long history in European folk medicine. Rich in saponins, flavonoids, and vitamins C and B, it is best known for its exceptional ability to cool, soothe, and relieve itchy, inflamed skin conditions — both topically and from within.
