Always on the look-out for inspiring ideas I was researching chickweed a few months ago and came across this article in which the author described a salve he made with chickweed & plantain, saying this about it: It has been so popular that it is known amongst my friends as the magic salve. True story. Excellent for anything due to the properties of both Stellaria and Plantago. Great for soothing irritated skin, ailing small cuts, lip balm, infected small wounds and more. It is my go-to salve for anything skin really.
