Note: This was another resurrected draft post, so the photo is older, as well as the content, but sharing for those who may not know about plantain. I have also dehydrated it for a medicinal tea. I have ground plantain, and applied it to a wasp sting, and it removed the pain and redness within 20 minutes of applying the ground up plantain. It truly is a wonderful weed to have available. I know plantain is great to add to some healing salves as well. Sharing the post today, as it was buried amongst the land of the blog drafts. The timeline is a bit off, as we are just now nearing spring weeds, but finally sharing. The blogpost prior shows a comfrey poultice . Apparently, I never took a photo of the plantain poultices I froze. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Plantain has finally been harvested. I allow some to grow in my flower beds too. It grows wild here. I made several poultices, and have put them into my freezer for safe keep...
