Did You Know? (Background)
Chickweed grows abundantly wherever the white man has traveled, and can be found world-wide in
fields, landfills, roadbeds and gardens. It has been used as a folk remedy for respiratory ills, skin
infections and disorders of the digestive tract, and is claimed to heal whatever it touches. Asian
herbalists have treated nosebleeds with Chickweed. Historically it has been advocated for
rheumatism, yet clinical support for this application is lacking. New leaf growth and seeds of the plant
are a favorite of young chicks and birds, suggested by the name "Chickweed."
