Chickweed Herb Powder (Stellaria media) is a finely milled, gently green botanical made from dried chickweed. It suits mild herbal teas and is often chosen for cooling-style external preparations made from a well-strained infusion. The powder format measures quickly and blends smoothly into herbal mixes.
