Chickweed and Your Blood Chickweed is small plant that appears to grow everywhere: it grows very rapidly and gardeners hate it intensely. However, it has some very powerful and useful health properties, particularly where your blood is concerned. It acts as a tonic for your circulatory system, and helps to remove toxins. Chickweed possesses diuretic properties which not only removes excess water from your body, and so help you lose weight, but also helps to flush out toxins through your kidneys. It possess antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties that assists your immune system in clearing your blood of invading pathogens, while preventing the inflammation that can occur when the inflammatory response overacts, as it frequently does. Not only that, but the terpenoid saponins help to maintain a healthy cholesterol level in your blood. Saponins are also adaptogens, enabling your body to adapt to illnesses and certain health conditions better, so allowing them to be treated more effectively. In general, chickweed enables your body to cope better with illness and maintain a healthy blood supply to support rapid healing and recovery. Chickweed - More Than Just a Weed Many look upon chickweed as being just a weed as its name implies, and most also believe it to offer no material value to human beings. In believing so, they are wrong, because chickweed offers a number of significant health benefits due to its unique blend of phytochemical constituents. In addition to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant vitamin C, and a number of antioxidant carotenoids, chickweed also contains adaptogenic terpenoid saponins, many of the B complex vitamins, antioxidant flavonoids, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), coumarins, the flavonoid glycoside rutin, and a number of minerals, including selenium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Each of these substances has an important part to play in human metabolism and health. Because of these, a chickweed supplement can be used to treat a wide range of inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, acne, eczema, intestinal conditions, gout, allergic reactions such as asthma, bronchitis, fevers and blood toxicity. It helps to reduce the effects of high blood cholesterol and also reduce the amount of LDL cholesterol in your blood. Chickweed is more than just a weed: it enables you to recover quicker after illness, reduce the severity of infections and fever and to generally feel better and more able to face the world after you have been ill.
