Benefits Of Chickweed.
While it is not the most popular leafy addition to a salad, this plant has a pleasant taste and has a slightly different growing season. It is known as a cool-season plant, so depending on where you are and what time of year it is, you may be more likely to find chickweed on the menu in cold climates. Not only is this an edible plant, but it is also praised for its use in traditional medicine.
The most important chickweed health benefits include its ability to heal the skin, relieve gastrointestinal distress, aid in weight loss efforts, eliminate inflammation, soothe respiratory problems, and speed up healing, among others.
Chickweed Benefits for healty.
1. Weight Loss.
Many people drink chickweed tea because it has certain diuretic and laxative qualities, which can help people lose water weight. On top of that, however, some studies have found that this herb also suppresses the appetite, further helping to limit calories and aid weight loss efforts.
2. Speeds up Healing.
Applying poultices or compresses of this herb to wounds stimulates circulation and blood flow while protecting against infections, which speeds the healing process.
3. Treats Respiratory Problems.
Some of the antioxidants in chickweed, namely the saponins, can act as expectorants in the respiratory system, helping you expel phlegm and mucus. [6] This will relieve inflammation in those tracts, helping you breathe normally, while also eliminating many of the underlying infections of that system.
4. Infused Oil.
If you infuse oil with chickweed leaves and allow them to soak overnight, you can then use this oil for topical applications on the body, or you can add it to your bath, which can relieve skin conditions and inflammation.
