Common plantain (Plantago major) is one of the ingredients in the mini mojo bags I attach to chicken foot charms when folks order them to hang in their cars. (Folks order them for all kinds of other purposes too.) Around here, it's said to protect against snakebite (and by extension, snakes of the human variety who might try to bite you in the back), protect against theft, and help you gain strength and courage. Medicinally, it's been used to treat a wide variety of things ranging from inflammation, sprains, abcesses, fever, cold, and digestive trouble, just to name a few. And it can be used as a pot herb or even eaten raw if you get the leaves young enough. Definitely one of those "weeds" you should eat, not kill. . . . #plantain #bayouhoodoo #bayouhoodooherbal #plantagomajor #foraging #bigluckyhoodoo #seraphinstation #eattheweeds #witchgarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CbyIOQBLaTM/?utm_medium=tumblr

However, P. lanceolata seems to exert more of its effects internally, while P. major is a good plant for external use.⁣ ⁣ P. major leaves have been used as a wound healing remedy for centuries in almost all parts of the world and in the treatment of a number of diseases apart from wound healing. These include diseases related to the skin, respiratory organs, digestive organs, reproduction, the circulation, against cancer, for pain relief and against infections. Externally, Plantago major is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antipruritic, and vulnerary. The macerated leaves or fresh juice of the plant are excellent, quick healing agents for cuts, wounds, bruises and ear ache (infection).⁣ ⁣ P. Lanceolata is a gentle soothing expectorant most indicated in irritated coughs and mild bronchitis. It may be more beneficial long-term. It exerts astringent and alterative properties internally, especially in chronic inflammatory conditions of the mucosa, glandular tissues, or septicemias. .⁣ ⁣ 📌https://thenaturopathicherbalist.com/herbs/p-q/plantago-lanceolata/⁣ ⁣ #plantagomajor #plantago #herbs #healingherbs #antiinflammatory #antibacterial #cellproliferation #potassium #coughsandcolds #flupreventative #bronchitis #scienceandnature #lymphatic #antiallergic #antihistamine (at Gold Coast, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjpkv2JKCA/?igshid=1ofn3bpouzf9h
