Chickweed (stellaria media) is a lovely spring herb that is packed full of valuable healing properties.
Chickweed is one of our go-to herbs for skin conditions that are difficult to get rid of, including eczema, psoriasis, acne, and poison ivy. We take it internally for belly aches, and to help cleanse the body and clean the blood and lymph system. We use it to help soothe arthritis and as an eyewash for sore or tired eyes, eye infections and dry eyes.
We harvest the leaves and stems of our native chickweed plants from our own farm where they are never exposed to any toxic chemicals or poisons, then place them directly into the distiller so we can capture the greatest amount of benefits. The final result is a hydrosol that smells faintly of green and earthy things.

Hydrosols are incredibly versatile and we absolutely love them! They are safe to take internally, but can also be added to baths, skin care products, or used alone as a spritzer.

Hyrdosols and floral waters are not the same thing. True hydrosols can only be made using steam extraction, which allows the essential oils and other vital components of plants to be extracted into water. At Tamara's Herbes, all of our hydrosols are made using a steam distiller, pure spring water, and organic or wild-crafted plants that are free from any chemical residue that can leach into the finished product.
