Chickweed is a tiny plant that is so adaptable it grows everywhere on earth — even in the North Pole region. Also known as Chick Wattles, Mouse Ear and several other common names, chickweed is prepared as tea or infused in oil for topical use.
The plant is abundant in B vitamins as well as vitamin C and D, iron, calcium and copper. Chickweed also contains a high concentration of saponins, making it a feasible substitute for soapwort in natural cosmetic and household formulations.
