Has anyone here tried this recipe to help with skin inflammation and itching?
The spray is as follows:
1 TBS Hyland's calendula spray mixed with 1 cup of
water
1 cup of chickweed tea (to brew tea- 1 TBS of
chickweed (dry) steep for 5 min. or use fresh
chickweed 3-4 TBS. Steep in hot water for 7 minutes.
Strain. Mix the two together and you should have 2
cups of spray. Store in the refrigerator for up to a
week. Be sure the spray reaches the skin. It won't do
any good just laying on top of the feathers.
Another version that may be easier to obtain is:
1 TBS dried calendula herb
1 TBS dried chickweed herb
Steep each herb in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes. Combine and store in refrigerator for up to one week. Use several times a day for 5 days. Stop for 3 days to determine if another dose is needed.
