Heya folks let's get to know Chickweed!
•
(Stellaria media)
•
This incredibly common,often pulled out of gardens,sadly overlooked lady,is just waiting for you to remember her not only as a spring food but as a healer💚
•
Feeling hot?Spring got you just pouring sweat? She's an incredibly cooling lady,no joke she helps cool down a hot body while giving every aspect of us a good moistening!
•
Humans need watered now & then too🤣
•
Do you ever wish there was a way to get more nutrients out of the food you eat?
•
Chickweed!This awesome lady has saponification properties in her,let me break that kinda big word down real quick:
•
You know how when you're doing dishes if you just run a greasy plate underwater it stays greasy?But if ya put soap on it, it just rinses off all easy right?That's Saponification in action!
•
Basically we're breaking open the cellular structure of the fat molecules which allows the water to pe*****te & rinse it away!
•
What you're not a greasy plate?
•
Well haha no but all the food you eat has cellular membranes & all cells are made up of,in part,fatty acids!
•
This means every time you eat chickweed as a pesto,drink her as a nourishing herbal infusion,take a tincture of her,infuse a tasty vinegar,or any other way you get her into your body she's no joke breaking open the cellular structure of the food you eat!
•
Why does that matter?
•
Because just about ALL of the nutrients we need from food are in those cells & our stomach acids aren't always strong enough to break open those cells!So,not only does this lady help us digest our food well she gets us more out of it!
•
But wait there's more!(😂)
•
She doesn't just traget our stomach her saponification abilities are far reaching!
•
Working hard to lose weight?Metabolism need a little boost?She can help!
•
Got ovarian cysts?Those are,in a way,little globs of fat!With persistent use she will dissolve them!
•
What about topically?
•
Her cooling nature makes her amazing for all types of burns,a fresh poultice can calm down angry eyes,& she straight up has the ability to stimulate new skin cell development making her great for skin health!
•
Remember you're absolutely smart enough to do this!
