Chickweed (Stellaria media) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in European and North American folk practices. It has been used as a mild diuretic, which is thought to support bladder and urinary health by promoting the excretion of fluids. Traditional herbalists sometimes recommend chickweed infusions or teas for soothing minor urinary tract discomfort and to help flush the bladder. However, there is little to no robust clinical or pharmacological research supporting these uses. Most modern scientific literature focuses on chickweed's potential anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties rather than direct effects on the urinary or bladder systems. The diuretic effect noted in traditional sources is based largely on anecdotal reports and historical texts rather than controlled studies. Therefore, while chickweed is traditionally associated with bladder support, the evidence is weak and primarily historical, lacking convincing scientific validation.
