Materia Medica: Plantain

The more I work with weedy plants from my yard and in my kitchen, the greater my confidence in them grows. Plantain is the perfect  bridge for embracing the idea that plants growing around us are remedies readily available. Plantain is a rockstar for healing the skin and mucous membranes where it can soothe pain, cleanse  and promote wound healing. What plantain heals externally it can also do internally.    Photo of Plantain major Photo of Plantain lanceolata   For more on plantain poultices listen to episode 44 of An Herbal Diary CONNECT WITH DINA Together we can transform our kitchens into a unique apothecary. ---With all of my heart I would love you to join me, click here to join on Patreon  ---Follow me on instagram: @theherbalbakeshoppe ---Deepest gratitude to Andrea Klunder, my podcast boss.  Find her at thecreativeimposter.com.  Original music by Dylan Rice Please send me your comments, requests, or feedback.  Send me a message, voice or write an email, my email is [email protected].
