Chickweed
I just found this about chickweed. I’m going to try it out as I have some
chickweed growing in my garden. I know it is good for agespots on the hands and
I heard it is good for small prep-cancerous spots too. To squeeze the milky
juice on it a couple of times a day. I’ll let you know how it goes on the
dermatitis around my forehead/scalp area. I don’t have any excema spots at the
moment that I can test it on. I think maybe my vitamin supplements might have
healed them up for the present.

Modern uses: Chickweed is a valuable healing and soothing agent, used in many
ways, both internally and externally. The herb digested in oil and made into an
ointment is excellent for haemorrhoids and ulcers, or for eczema, psoriasis or
other irritating skin diseases. A decoction of the herb is used to wash and
bathe swollen and inflamed tissues. The powder is used in poultices to give
relief in bronchitis, pleurisy and rheumatism. The tea can be taken internally
at the same time - one teaspoonful to a cup of boiling water. Three or four cups
a day may be taken.
