Plantain Poultice


Parts Used: All of the above ground parts

Habitat: Plantain can be found along walkways, roads, and cracks in sidewalks. There are different species, with Plantago major being the most abundant.

Uses:Most beneficial as a poultice on insect stings, wasp and bee stings, stinging nettle stings, minor burns and scrapes.

In the form of a tea or tincture, this herb often used for a cough or irritated throat as it contains a high amount of mucilage.

Mucilage offers a soothing, lubricating, protective barrier for skin conditions as well as for internal uses.

Wildcrafting: Gather from the outdoors at any time. Identifying the plant is easier once it has bloomed.

Gather leaves that are nice looking and be careful to gather in areas that have not been sprayed.

This herb is better fresh than dried.
