I love to add it to my salad mix, along with some young plantain leaves. I wonder if it's properties would remain in a salve?

I've never done a chickweed salve, but there's lots of good reasons to make one. The main effective chemicals are saponins, soap like molecules that help to reduce inflammation. I can't see why those wouldn't transfer to a salve. Give it a try
Mullein has lots of saponins too. I made an oil and a salve with that earlier this year. Definitely gonna try the chickweed.
Mullein is a great herb, unfortunately, it doesn't grow wild around here. Some winters, I wish it would! Give Chickweed a try. Its so gentle that you can't lose!
