Plantain
Plantago lanceolata
Plantain is a great respiratory herb.
Plantain leaf is used for blisters, sores, ulcers, swelling, insect stings, earaches, and eye ailments. I use it for dry, chapped hands. Use it in infused oils. Add some beeswax to create salves and lotions. You can make soaps and lotion bars for dry skin.
Plantain is known to be effectual in bringing out poisons from snake bites, bee stings, spider bites, thorns and splinters. Application of this plant may also lessen the chances of developing scars due to scrapes and major cuts.
Plantains also contain iridoids that serve as anti-bacterial as well as anti-inflammatory agents, in addition to accelerating wound healing. The flavonoids present in this plant are potent antioxidants. At the same time, they also inhibit inflammation and hyaluronidase. In other words, they possess excellent anti-aging properties.
