Health Benefits

Not to be confused with the banana-like fruit of the same name, the plantain leaf is a common sight in parks and cities. You have definitely seen this amazing little herb before, but did you know that it is one of the favorite herbs to treat skin issues?
Although it is mostly famous for it’s skin healing benefits, plantain has a lot to offer:

Skin and insect bites

Helps quit smoking

Respiratory health

Heart health

Urogenital health

Nerve Damage Remedy

Oral health

Nutrition Booster

Energy Booster

Antiviral properties and Liver health

Cancer Prevention

Wide-reaching Health Tonic

Skin and insect bites

Plantain is most famous for its skin healing qualities. It has been used by herbalists for centuries for speeding up the healing of wounds, inflamed skin or dermatitis, and insect bites. It is approved by the German Commission E as topical use for skin inflammations.
If the mosquitoes have bitten you or you’ve been stung by a bee or hornet, apply a poultice of plantain leaves to the area to relieve the stinging sensation and pain or clean the skin with a cotton ball dipped in plantain tea.

An infusion or strong tea of plantain leaf sprayed on a sunburn will cool the burn and relieve the pain. This will also help soothe rashes and reactions from Poison Ivy, Oak or Sumac. To make an even stronger remedy, steep plantain leaf in apple cider vinegar for a few weeks and then strain. The infused vinegar will sooth itching, burning and pain on the skin very quickly.

Helps quit smoking

Plantain seems to create a natural aversion to cigarettes, thereby making it easier to leave them behind. It can be used in various forms: tea, extract or spray. For a tea, simply drink it before you reach for a cigarette. Many people find that this eliminates the craving or that they don’t want to smoke a whole cigarette.

Respiratory health

Not only does plantain reduce cravings for cigarettes, but it is also used by natural health practitioners to reduce congestion, asthma, laryngitis, lung irritation and inflammation. Plantain has demonstrated its abilities to heal upper-respiratory conditions as well as chronic bronchitis.

Plantain helps to reduce mucus secretion in the airways, which makes it helpful in treating colds, catarrh, sinusitis, lung and bronchial allergic conditions such as hay fever and asthma. As the herb also has antiseptic properties it can be used as a remedy for a sore throat, tonsillitis and coughs.

Heart health

This amazing herb is beneficial for the general health of blood flow and heart. It helps with blood poisoning, regulation of cholesterol and diabetes, and has a stimulating effect on the blood flow, as well as helping the lymph system work properly and heals all problems related to lymph nodes.

Urogenital health

Plantain is also often prescribed for relieving menstrual related issues likeuterus warts and uterus ulcers, but it’s also beneficial for very heavy, irregular or prolonged periods, or a shorter cycle than 21 days.
Due to the diuretic effect of plantain, it is also advised for urinary retention, blood in urine, and bladder and kidney pain.

Nerve Damage Remedy

Because the herb contains the powerful nerve healing substance known as aucubin, it heals damaged or injured nerves. For this purpose, it can be used both internally and topically.

Oral health

Due to its allantoin and apigenin content, plantain extract is a potent natural anti-inflammatory. It is also advised for toothache, earache, bad breath, oral lesions, mouth sores, nose bleeds, loose teeth, gingivitis, and tonsillitis by gargling the tea infusion.

Nutrition Booster

Plantain is packed with nutrients, including beta carotene, calcium, vitamins C and K, and many compounds essential for our health.
Beta carotene boosts eyesight and helps fight cancer, calcium builds strong bones and is essential to a healthy nervous system, vitamin C helps to fight cancer and reduces the effects of stress, and vitamin K is necessary for blood and blood-vessel health.

Energy Booster

The substance baicalein is naturally found in plantain and it helps repair the mitochondria (the cells’ energy centers). Healthy mitochondria are integral to a healthy body and high levels of energy.

Antiviral properties and Liver health

Liver health is very important for the balanced functioning of our body, as it processes and eliminates all of the toxins that we accumulate in our everyday lives. If it gets clogged, the toxins soon start to build up in all of our organs, making the perfect environment for the development of illnesses. Plantain is the perfect helper to keep your liver happy and healthy.
The natural compound known as oleanolic acid has both antiviral and liver-protecting qualities, which may be helpful in the prevention or treatment of hepatitis.

Cancer Prevention

Research found that an extract of plantain strongly suppressed the growth of human cancer cells, suggesting that this herb could play an important role in addressing cancer naturally and in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The scientists also believe that plantain may help prevent the damage to DNA normally caused by cancer cells.

Wide-reaching Health Tonic

Plantain has been used to relieve toothaches, ulcers, digestive complaints, gout and kidney infections.

Not to be confused with the banana-like fruit of the same name, the plantain leaf (Plantago major) is a green, weedy plant native to North America, Europe and Asia.

Cultures around the world have used the plantain leaf to help relieve health ailments for millennia. The plant is one of nine sacred herbs mentioned in the ancient Lacnunga (‘Remedies’), a collection of Anglo-Saxon medical texts. During the 1500s and 1600s, it was used by Europeans for everything from dog bites and boils to fevers and the flu.

Plantain is a common backyard herb with broad leafs. Most people think of it as a weed, though it is an incredibly useful herb. Around the Balkans it is considered one of the most useful herbs available. According to Mountain Rose Herbs: “Legend has it that Alexander the Great discovered it and brought it with him back to Europe in 327 BCE. It has been referred to as the Whiteman’s Foot by Native Americans, as wherever they went, it seemed to spring up. and in some places, it is seen as a noxious, invasive weed. It is, however, a useful little plant. It has been used by many cultures the world over.

It was considered an early Christian symbol of the path followed by the devout and many cultures today refer to it as an aphrodisiac. The leaves are quite edible, and often used raw in salads and cooked as greens.

Plantain is wind-pollinated, facilitating its growth where there are no bees and few other plantain plants. P. major produces 13,000 to 15,000 seeds per plant, and the seeds have been reported to remain viable in soil for up to 60 years.

Common Names: Plantain also is known as Spanish psyllium, French psyllium, blond plantago, Indian plantago, psyllium seed, flea seed, and black psyllium.
