Chickweed leaves can be steeped in hot water to make a tea that potentially relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and provides calming, soothing effects.
 
To make your own chickweed tea, add 1 1/2 cups (300 grams) of chickweed leaves to 3 cups (710 mL) of water and simmer over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes. Filter out the leaves and enjoy.
 
Old herbal folklore suggests enjoying a cup of this tea every 2–3 hours, though there’s no research to suggest how often you should drink it to reap its potential benefits.
