It is true this plant heals. at one time I had a liver problem ,my tummy started swelling ,I even stopped eating any solid food , only milk, but when I started drinking plantain and dandelion I recovered within three weeks. thanks to the Almighty the CREATOR of the plants.
Psalms 104:14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Amen🙏
@@IsaacNelson54 Thank you for the quote reminding me of God's intentions.
When I work in the yard or sitting, I Pick a leaf and crunch it up and rub it on my neck , face, wrist, ankles and it keeps the bugs away. Bug repellent! I eat it., can eat raw or cook like any green or with other greens. Dried seeds can be used like sesame or poppy seeds, in salads, baking bread on top.
About 45 years ago I was a passenger on a dirt bike and we wiped out. The muffler made contact with my skin bellow knee on the side, a section about the size 3 in diameter and melted that first layer of skin. My grandmother told me to boil plantain and apply the leaves after cooled and to continue several times a day. It was soothing and no ointments was used. It completely healed and you have to look hard for the scar. Over the years have used plantain for several things and now trying to use it as a poultice for back pain. It’s at the experiment stage at this point so we will have to see!
When I was 11, we lived in tents and my brother and I was melting crayons in a camp fire, in a veggie can with hole in the sides and a stick thru it, to make our own new colors. And mine got to hot and caught fire and I got scared and jumped and some how dumped that flaming wax on my little hairy leg. I burnt me really bad. But momma had made a salve OUT of plantain and lard and used it in my burn after they scraped off the cooling wax. I HAVE NO SCAR, all the hair grew back also
I have the wide leaf and the narrow leaf as well HERE... My momma loved plant medicine.
@G-man it is okay, as long as you wait till the burn has cooled, SO that the oil of it does NOT hold the heat in the skin. You can also use the plantain in apple cider vinegar and use it on poison Ivy or Oak, drys out the blisters and heals up sores fast, helps reduce itching.
Do you remember how she made it?
Talking about getting burned. I got burned in my whole body when I was two. My Mom was walking with a pot of scalding milk and I hugged her legs. The whole poured on my head and down my body. It was chaos. The doctor put a cream on me and wrapped me like a mummy. The wrap only had a tiny whole in my mouth and two to breathe. He told her that the gauze had to remain constantly moist at all times. Anywhere the gauze would dry, I would be scarred for life. He then told her to put slices of potatoes on top of the gauze. My legs and arms were separated by tiesThere were shifts to pour water on top of the potatoes to keep me wet at all times. The potatoes would be changed everyday. Three months later the mummy wrap was to come off. My Mom told the doc to start by a foot. She was terrified to see my face. When he revealed the skin, it was completely healed. I have absolutely no scars anywhere in my body.
@@miranduri That was very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Glad that worked and you and you weren't scared for life.
I live in Ireland north, as a child I ended up with a Serious cut and lose of skin on the knuckle part of my little finger. The doctor could not understand how clean this cut was and mother told him she used a leaf. Plantain was the leaf mother used. We call them rats tails. Thank you for teaching me further. Ireland is full of surprising plants as I learn about them.
I have come across more wild plants in last 2-3 years than in a long time.Thank God for that.
My mom was bitten by a brown recluse when I was a teenager. She used plantain poultuces and made a plantain tea as well. I can't remember how much tea, but she drank lots of it. She was able to heal from that bite naturally. Plantain is amazing.
wow thats impressive!
Wow that's astounding I spent two days and I see you fight for my life when my brown recluse bite turn septic had emergency surgery and a lot of necrotic tissue was removed
I didn't know about plantain when I was bitten by a brown recluse spider --I didn't realize it until the next day as a red ring started intensifying and it looked like a sinkhole in the middle -- I have lots of essential oils that I began putting on it and then read to use Tusli Holy Basil and that did the trick! The now already larger sinkhole and spreading of red stopped and it healed perfectly --can't even tell where it was and if I didn't have photos I took, wouldn't have known it ever happened -- amazing what Mother Earth has give us--the best medicine available!
I have seen Recluse Bites they are horrible looking and extremely destructive to the body and the scaring is awful.
African food not yours
God provides if we are willing to listen & see. Another great video Heidi.
In our family we use them on wounds and slivers. I've got little kids and avoiding sticky bandages is great! We use chewed up plantain with a lamb's ear leaf on it then wrap with a "sticks only to itself" style bandage. My kids have even dealt with their own wounds without even telling me. I think it's empowering for them.
I literally watched ur video yesterday , n then at 5:30 am I woke up n totally wacked my foot off of a a popped up floor nail, it took a chunk out of my foot n as i stubbles so pissed uff n tired I walked into my back yard grabbed with Plantain n it stopped the bleeding n stinging pain faster then my husband could get a bandaid and pollysporn . So thank u very much for sharing ur wisdom n knowledge 🙏🏼
Backyard medicine was the best intro book to weeds I ever invested in. Plantain is in there and I found some great plants at the park and transplanted them to a box container in my container garden, gotta harvest then next year it should just grow...., 😃
Made sure when you find it in the parks
Someone hasn’t sprayed
When I was living in Europe, I got bronchitis. The doctor prescribed plantain syrup. It worked as well or better than anything my doctor here in the US has prescribed so I've used it ever since. It's good for pneumonia, asthma, and bronchitis because it's a pulmonary anti-inflammatory. More recently, I've been using it for long Covid... which is almost gone now, to my doctor's surprise. Syrup is made from water, fresh plantain, and brown sugar.
I make a salve from it for eczema, hives, nettles, and insect stings. It can shut off the pain of a wasp sting like a light switch. Salve is just coconut oil, fresh plantain, and a (very) little beeswax.
Hello God bless you both 🙏
I suffer from asthma and I use a LOT of medications. But I'm looking for natural remedies. I got pneumonia also and I was intubated. How can I prepare the remedy?? What ingredients and quantities I will need to make the plantain syrup? I WILL APPRECIATE IT WITH ALL OF MY HEART.
IN ADVANCE, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY 🙏
@@margieguzman1888

THANKS A LOT for answer and for taking time to write the remedy.
Sorry for my english I'm not fully bilingual 😏
Blessings 🙏
@@margieguzman1888 Clad I could help. Take care!
Question, I put fresh plantain in olive oil and coconut oil. Should I have dried first?
Love your videos. I used plantain when my baby son (who had teeth) had bitten me while nursing...the midwife gave me a cream but it was not really helping the wound so I went out to the garden saw a big plantain leaf bruised it up and heated it put it on my nipple all day and another overnight & voila! it was healed!
Amazing!
I had no idea that the weed growing in my driveway was a wonder plant! Thank you, for the information.
My husband was bit by a brown recluse years ago and we put a plantain poultice on the bite asap, which worked amazingly. He had no issues from the bite at all.
You are good. Thank you. I have taught kids to recognize plantain and use it for stings. It empowers kids to know how to handle a fairly common thing like a yellowjacket sting. Next thing you know, that kid is showing another kid too. right on.
I add it to my lunch salad together with dandelion, kale, and some other greens I pick up in the garden. It is tasty, delicious, and did a lot of good to digestion.
Gave me an extremely delicious salad last night, adding a few leaves of kale growing in a crack in my 😋
I do the chew a piece of plantain when I get stung thing. I have a new kitten, a cute calico, a few weeks ago she was out in the garden with me and got stung on the nose by a wasp. She was freaking out! Pawing her nose, running in circles, crying. I chewed a piece of plantain like I do for myself, caught her up and held it on top of her nose over the sting. After about 10 seconds she quit struggling and crying and settled into my arms. So, good for critter's poo poos too!
That is so great!
Good to know! Thanks for sharing
I have planted this all over the garden, I blend 8 or so large leaves in a green smoothie with other vegs AND I slice shreds of large but tender leaves into my home-made Kraut. I love the pop of green through it and know the nutrition boost is WIN_WIN!
Thanks for sharing. I am presently transforming my very large yard into a veg garden and I think that growing medicinals like plantain would be a good idea to plant in the yard.
Made a lovely salad last night out of celery, plantain, chives, a touch of green onion, a lil self heal, a few kale leaves! I was prepared for it to not taste thar good! OH MY, IT WAS DELICIOUS ❤ My son better quit mowing mine down!!!
I am terribly allergic to mosquito and noseeum bites. I tried every itch relief claim there was and still scratched until it bled.. Plantain really works for me, bless you Heidi for sharing your knowledge!
Yesss GOD bless for yet another magical plant!🙏🏼🙏🏼
I use it mainly in a salve. Where l add a little peppermint in for the freshness.
I use it daily on my hands and face and l was flabbergasted to see that my age spots have disappeared😳😳
And yes, any skin issue gets my Plantain salve.
But l will start using it in my food too as a dried herb and l'll make the oil too!
I just LOVE Plantain!❤❤
I’m a bee keeper and I can contest to the pain relief you get from this plant it’s a bee keeper best friend 😁 thank you Heidi
I cut my thumb. I actually sliced the side of off with a mandelen. I held pressure on it, held it above my head and every time I would take the pressure off, it would bleed like a sieve. It did that for 2 hours. It was getting late. I went into the bathroom and though what can I use to stop the bleeding. I seen the dried plantain, so I look up its medicinal properties. I made a tea with it and put it on my wound. Within 15 minutes the throbbing had stopped and in 20 minutes the bleeding stopped, so I could finally go to bed without bleeding to death in my sleep. I recently made a salve with 4 other weeds, chickweed being one of them, with coconut oil and bees wax. Chickweed is good for stopping the itching.
yarrow will stop blood you can use the flowers The Roots the leaves. It was used during the war with a lot of soldiers.
For pain and inflammation i think hemp oil is the best. We don't have comfrey in Sweden or they are hard to find. 3 days ago I was at the gym working out and pulled a little to much weights så a little muscle on my back got inflammable. I tried everything for 2 days inflammatory pills and some inflammatory salve it helped a little but pain came back. So I had homemade cbd oil and I thought well let me try this oil and see if it works. I put some cbd oil on the muscle and gave it a good rubb. It took one hour and the pain was gone totally gone. I couldn't belive it. It is so effective that i cant describe it it helped so much it was unbelievable. So yes i can recommend it if you have joint pain and inflammation. Works miracles.
I LOVE that you did this video. I’ve made the salve for years. Calendula also. One example - my sons husky had a wart between his shoulder blades. One of those cauliflower looking ones. The vet checked him and rallied up cost of removal 😳 $929$ 😳 He came up to visit and told me this so I got out the salve and put it on the wart, Friday night- couple times on Saturday and once Sunday before he left to go back home. I gave him a tin of the salve but he remembered only Monday to apply it SO he was doing that and the wart fell completely off. 👍. Awesome stuff 👍. The Indians said that for every ailment known to mankind the Creator had put cures on the earth too. So much got lost over all the years unfortunately- I was a late life baby, so my parents being older- I learned A LOT!! From flower beds to veggie gardens and the plants and such for healing ( mom had a medicinal bed ) tucked out back so kids wouldn’t pick bouquets for their mom 😁😄
That is great but good grief, $929?! Vets and doctors alike know how to scam people out of their money for treatments that should be simple and inexpensive!

I also supplement the diet of my chickens and rabbits with Plantains. They love them!
As do I along with other herbs as mentioned in this video: czcams.com/video/Soq3Z11Qq4I/video.html
A year ago, I made a salve, using plantain and other herbs, and use it on all kinds of minor cuts and stings.
I already have close to a gallon jar of dehydrated plantain that I like to add to my herbal teas.
I've been gathering this all summer, and am just beginning to discover the uses! I'm gonna use the powdered leaves in a salve or lotion and send it to my daughter. She has psoriasis, and her hands are broken out seriously bad because of the use of hand sanitizer and hand washing. If you gather up enough seeds, you can use it as a flour substitute also. I'm slowly collecting them to use at some point. The younger leaves are a lot easier to deal with raw because they're still tender. An easy way to identify it, is if you look at the stalks, at the base they are purple. Plus if you find one, you might as well just have a seat, because they'll be all around you. I am having so much fun learning the uses of the plants we think are just a nuisance! Thanks for the video Heidi, I love watching and learning along with you and the community. Blessings for all y'all.
The seeds... Are an AMAZING gut healer!! My grandsons suffers from gut bleeds. Sometimes so bad they had to pump his stomach for a wk in icu. Nothing they gave worked. But. Plantain seeds are a powerhouse! I heat some (very small amount maybe 1/4 of a cup) water to a boil then a add a teasspoon or so of seeds. And the wonder happens, it makes a gel. I give that to him orally and it stops the pain and the bleeds 1:54
Nature is truly abundant in the ways in which it assists us in our survival.
Great video and information!
One way I use it is I pick the seed pods off of the narrow leaf plantain (which is super easy to do) And then dehydrate them and put them into a blender... which makes a fiber rich flower that I put in just about everything! 🤠
This is the 1st year I've done anything with the pods or seeds. I cook eith the fresh or flowering pods
Not many seeds but going to grind up and just add to things. Do they act as a thickening agent at all?
Here in NC we have fire ants, I have been using this for their stings for years. I use the poultice method, so fresh…chew a few clean leaves and pop it on the the effected area. It is truly a miracle, as it works in moments. Both broad leaf and the narrow leaf work for me. Hope this is helpful for someone else.🙂
A fellow Tar Heel here thanks you!
My father in law is from NC. I had to learn how to make beans and cornbread (not johnny cake!) when I married Patrick. I call them Tar heel beans! haha
I make a comfrey/plantain salve for everything!! I should use it only for skin ailments but we are all addicted to it for work roughened hands, and softening. I cant keep the stuff around! It is truly amazing!
What can we use on skin abscesses
It helps my cramping feet & legs! The pain us extreme, buy a deep rub with the comfy, plantain, rosemary, spearmint salve I whipped up for the first time last year!❤❤❤❤❤
@@cristineconnell7803do you have a recipe? Always looking for ideas that can help with leg and foot cramps 🎉
Right after I watched this video, I got stung by a yellow jacket. I immediately applied a chewed plantain leaf, the pain went away quick, I had no redness or swelling . Thank you !
Good timing on seeing the video just before too! Now it will forever be set in your memory as it is now in mine :)
I use Plantain two different ways. I make a Plantain salve. I also make oatmeal soap, and add Plantain to my recipe. Both sell great!!
I've been using plantain on mosquito bites since my mom read about it back in the late 70s. I didn't chew it, but I'd fold the leaves and rub them on the sidewalk to pulp them up and then put it on the bites, which would take the itch out of them instantly.
Got nipped by pruners once, and a grass cut (like a paper cut)...both bled like crazy. Wrapped a plantain leaf around it and it not only stopped the bleeding but both healed remarkably fast. Never thought to use on a sting, thanks for that tip.
Hi Heidi I have used the plantain on my thumb I mashed my thumb in between two bricks while I was working in my garden and that pain was terrible it was burning and throbbing and I chewed up some of the plantain and put it on my thumb and wrapped it up and the pain went away really quick. I have both types of plantain in my yard and I have used the dandelion I made dandelion coffee and used the roots before thanks again for sharing this video.
I really love that people are sharing their various stories at how well it worked from them for different types of wounds, that is so great!
Years ago when I was pregnant I had a horrible case of poison ivy and couldn’t use any Rx because of the pregnancy. A friend crushed plantain and put it on my poison. I could actually feel it draw the poison out. The next day the poison was all dried up.
Last year I was stung by a bumble bea. I had read plantain would work. Sure enough immediately
Jewelweed is amazing for poison ivy as well, but it has to be used fresh. You can however boil/simmer it and put in ice cube trays for later use or make a salve.
Word great poultice have it on my poison ivy currently 💜🙏💚
some Indonesians call this plant a spoon leaf, some call it plantain, this wild plant really has many health benefits, thank you friends for sharing this very useful information
Jehovah provides!
Plantain is a wonderful and beneficial herb. You covered a lot about its properties and why people should pay attention to natural remediess - in very simple and understandable language. Keep teaching, it's getting too expensive, to live, out here
Hi Heidi. I've had arthritis all my life and been using plantain salve for the last 2 years. What a difference its made! Even tho my knee, I only have 1 knee now, the other one is fused straight. I put it on my knee and within 20 minutes my arthritis pain is gone and I can take care of my husband for nearly the whole day! I also use it for my hands and elbows and I haven't been disappointed!
Thank you for sharing this Christine!
What form do yo uh use, salve or poultice?
@@donnadavis453 I use the salve with just plantain and coconut oil
Hi Christine. See if you can find a naturopathic doctor who knows about herbs and nutrients. I’ve had good luck with NAC as a supplement. There are a hundred videos on CZcams about it by doctors so I won’t blather on about it.
I got rid of GMO corn- in so many products- and that has helped.
I know the battle. Best wishes to you.
The no see ums and mosquitoes were so terrible this summer and I had two hard lumps on my neck and face that hurt and itched so bad so I chewed a plantain leaf just to crush the leaf and release the mucilage , then I tore it in half and stuck the leaves on each of the bugbites . The relief was instant and lasted for two hours . Better than store bought remedies by far and the mucilage keeps it stuck to your skin . Amazing !!!!!
I made a strong tea with plantain, and used the cool tea on my right arm, while using an aloe Vera lotion on my left arm after a long day of fishing where I got good and burned. I believe my right arm recovered faster and less itchy.
I remember when I was young, about 8 or so getting stung by a bee and daddy did the same thing...chewed up a piece of plantain and put it on my foot...we never wore shoes outside so bee stings happened all the time with us kids...I have never thought about adding it to food though...😍
And all the time, God is good!
One of my absolute favourites and probably the my go do to stop bleeding, great with tea tree in my herbal first aid for our Australian bush walks.
Yes I also have used on wasp sting I was amazed how well it worked
Great info! I learned about plantain at a powwow when I was stung years ago and a little kid picked it up and showed me how to chew and apply it. :)
I have an area where early spring growing plants die down in late spring and are gone by early summer. I'm going to plant plantain there to cover the baron area so there will be green there all summer. If it seeds itself, that's fine with me, it can go crazy in that area and give me healthy benefits. I have two old lady chickens who I hope will eat the leaves. I'll share with them.
I use plantain as a green and on insect bites. Also, my guinea pigs really like it as a fresh green.
😊💚🌱🌻🐝
Wow 😮 we called it in my region is Wild Spinach.
I just moved out of the city to 7 acres and know it's growing here. I canwait to start making some of these products. Thank you for all this valuable information and help.
Hello from the UK. Great video. I blend plantain in distilled water. Currently I have a very bad Chest Infection. I ran out of Plantain on Sunday and my health has got worse. Thankfully the Plantain arrived Thursday so I am hoping it will cure this nasty lung infection. I'm just drinking it day and night with distilled water and ice.
Do you drink the plantain decoction with distilled water or boiled the leaves first?
This is one of my primary plants that I am growing. It wasn’t easy to acquire the seeds to just to be able to put a plot in. I got a plot maybe 6‘ x 100 that I’m trying to enlarge even more I traveled all over, trying to acquire the seeds, August is a good time to harvest the seeds try to get your babies going as soon as possible so you could start duplicating it as fast as you can the seeds to grow. I’m gonna let you know that so sprinkle them a little bit lightly you have to use sterile soil they are slow crores, but once they establish them selves, they do very well broadleaf, plantain and arrowleaf plantain are very nice. I prefer broadleaf plantain because it covers more area. I invented a way to process plant matter to liquefy it very fast with a pressure washer with an oscillating tip on it running it through screens I just saved 3 million strawberry seeds that way, then put them in the freezer for one month. I get a very large abundance of food every week because they take everything from a produce stand and process it into seed, level or replant it. It can be very time consuming of my life to try to process everything I cannot tell you how much negativity has came to me in my mind while I have been doing this, there is definitely something evil in this universe that has been trying to stop me. I hope it never comes to any of you, and if it does, I can tell you the secret only listen to the thoughts in your head that are intelligent that direct you nothing else can protect you, it’s like a big drama situation out there of frequencies overlapping in our heads just remember to stay focused on the plan and if you wanna know what the plan is it is to protect and develop this planet at the highest level you possibly can I planted tens of thousands of fruit trees primarily apples and pears this year from seed, lemons, walnuts, pecans, but primarily apples and pears and wish everybody to have a fruitful garden and if you wanna know a couple of tips, use lots of fertilizer manure of any kind you can instead of your plants you might have something inside there that is better for you then what’s your groin?
Thank you, Heidi. Don’t you find it interesting discovering the many beneficial uses of the “weeds” around us? 😃
I love it! By the way, I forgot to send the paper instructions with your order so I messaged them to you via Etsy. New product so I forgot to send them with the few others that sold before yours!
Creator's pharmacy.🙂
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you. I did receive the etsy message. I’m sorry, I’m just slow to reply. I kept nodding off in my chair last night before bedtime. 🥱😆
@@rhondawelker6742 No worries, just wanted to make sure. Last night was one of those nights I kept busy until I went to bed but on those nights I decide I need to rest, yep, I start nodding off at 8 pm! haha
I have made a salve with Plantain and Sage for 30 years. We were at a zoo and my son and I got a bee sting. We looked for plantain and found some growing at the zoo so we applied it to the sting. In about 15 minutes, it was completely gone - no redness. Thanks for all of your videos.
I love to eat the shoots/seed stalks. I pinch them off when they're young and tender, I only use the ones that are easy to pinch. I eat them raw or rolled around in a pan with a little butter until the color starts to brown......delicious!
I'm wanting to make some salve of plantain and yarrow to give as gifts for Christmas this year.
Heidi have you ever worked with the shrub "Wax Myrtle"? Also called the Candle shrub. You can boil the dried berries to get wax out of them. I think it's the dried berries, or I hope so cause I want to try it and that's the state they're all in now. Lol.
I have not tried cooking them like that yet but that does certainly sound good!
We didn't have any growing here, so we went and got some and are getting it going in a container near our violet propagation area. Plantain's ability to accelerate healing is enough to make one believe in magic.
Believe rather in the awesome beautiful creator of the creation. 🙏💜Peace
@@balanceskateboarding8807 Who did you imagine made the plantain?
Wow didn’t know of these benefits. I put it in my salads
I make tea and love it. It cures my sore throat.
Learned so much more about a plant I've been using for over 50 years to stop bleeding. Never failed me. Often taped the poultice in place. Found out saliva contains an enzyme that promotes healing as well. Stops nettle stings also. Most delicious lightly steamed with lemon and butter or oil.
Forgot to say thanks Heidi for all the wonderful information you've given us. Best to you.
I have made the tincture for coughs, dry throat. I have never made the salve. Thanks for this information!
Got my plantain seed from you, so anxious to get them going in the spring, thanks for sharing all the awesome uses for it, blessings
I use the seeds as a way to promote colon movement. Works well .
Nice to know how to use this with stings. I work with honeybees. I average about 15 stings a summer I will likely use this.
I make a salve and also use as a tea. A very good herb! Also, I have lightly burned my hand twice and put the salve on and it took the burn out.
I'm a wildlife photographer, trudge through woods, swamps etc.
Those places are wonderful storehouses for all sorts of herbs and healthful vegetation.
Just have to make absolutely sure you know what you're harvesting because so many good plants can look like poisonous ones
That’s what is so great growing it in your yard.
Use it for sprained ankles. Takes swelling n pain away.
But first, ground it into a paste. Then wrap it around the injured area with saran wrap overnight.
Wow! I’m so glad I saw your video. I saw several of these in my garden and thought they were some type of invasive weed so I pulled a bunch of them to throw away. Thought I better get them before they get too big. Now I hope they come back😢
My tortoise 🐢 loves this and can eat each day
He can eat dandelions too but not every day flowers and leafs
Good ideas
Thanks again
Excellent information! I already liked plantain. Now I like it even more! Thanks!
I never thought about dehydrating it . I am doing that today !
I make the salve for stings, bites and other skin issues but I will start using it in my soups and salads, thanks🙏🕊🙏
Thank you so much, for all this great information, another great video. Have a blessed evening
I found a bunch of this in my friends yard while we were visiting. Mosquitos love me so before long I had been bitten several times. I picked a handful of plantain, scrunched it up in my hand and rubbed it on my bites. Not only did it stop the itch but no more mosquitos biting me! I picked a ton of it and took it home and made both a bug repellent spray and an anti-itch oil. This stuff is great!
@K Barnes Mimi said she rubbed the fresh leaves on her arm.
If I want a spray mosq repellent made of Plantain, I would throw the leaves into a blender with Vodka or Everclear, let it sit and tincture for awhile, then strain the liquid off and put it into a jar or spray bottle.
There are prob at least 25 or so ways to do it. Others may have different ways, but this is what I would do.
God Bless us all
How do you make the repellant? Those little burgers love me! I have tried alot of different repellants herbal and otherwise and mosquitoes around my area seem to be immune to it all..somethings work some or a little or for a short period of time then stop working on them..even spraying area I am working in with a natural repellent seems to do the same thing even if done repeatedly.. sometimes I think my neighbors might look at me and think this old lady has lost when the see me working in the yard with blades if sweet grass or lemongrass pinned to my clothes and my hat ..I have tromped in, knelt down in and pulled with my gloves hands in my excess garlic and have stunk of garlic head to toe ( garlic is one of recommend natural things mosquitoes do not like smell of and will repel them,) only to starting right after in another area to have them attack even biting me through the garlic sting gloves I am wearing..so hoping maybe what you mentioned my work or at the least give me something to rotate in with rest of the things
We use it for spider bites, we have brown recluse in our area. A neighbor was bitten by one, went to doctor he gave several things nothing seemed to work, she put just poultice and wrap, by next morning pain went away, started filling back in. This is first thing we grab for bites.
This simple little plant has so many uses. I have some simply growing wild and I let them run wherever they choose in my little backyard. I really like the information about making a salve. I'll try that.
I used to sauteed with spinach and other greens. It works wonderfully on hornet stings when masticated as well. Every stinging big bite has been remedied with it
الله يوفقكم ويسعدكم يارب شكراً شكراً شكراً
Thank you!
Plantain, Comfrey, and Stinging Nettle love to spread in your yard!
Yep and thankfully all have powerful healing properties.
I stumbled across your Chanel on black berry leaves love what your teaching. Thank you so much I’m now a subscriber.
I didn’t till my garden thus year and I have an abundance plantain growing. I will be harvest and dehydrating today to make salves. Great info
This is incredibly helpful, thank you for sharing!! 😁
Thank you sooooo much you made my day 😊😊
Great topic! I use it for wound healing, part of my oil infusion for black sav, and for a itch sav. Works great for bug bites
I first learned about plantain this year and identified it in my yard. I have some dried with other herbs in a jar😃 Very useful plant. Thank you for the tips and information on plantain.
Rain country: thank you very much for this video. He had another awesome video that I really enjoyed. It’s getting late in the year, and so I just realized that I didn’t have any harvested so I came to check out what you had to say about it.
Because you asked what we do with it, what I usually do is wait until I actually have a problem, like a cut or a bite, and then I just select some doc, plantain, and yarrow from the yard together and make a mastication poultice.
The reason for which I use those three, are that they are the three that I learned together, so even though I can pretty much always remember that yarrow is excellent for starting bleeding, I’m not always so smart to remember which ones are best for what kind of pain, so I just usually grab a leaf of each and press it into service, since pretty much every lawn, meadow, and roadside have them in abundance in my area.
This year is different, however. This year I’m dehydrating the herbed have on hand around, and a little bit in a while in my little emergency preparedness tin in my bag.My very first tincture of Yarrow from dehydrated plant matter is sitting on my shelf now. I
am very grateful for the information that you provide, Especially while supply is still a bit of a mess. Thank you very much.
I got a package of seeds from you, can't wait to plant them! I'll be watching this again when I get a (hopefully large) harvest. Shalom!
I just received my health plantain today & planted them . Thank you for the educational video
Heidi this video is spot on!! We love using plantain for all the reasons you mentioned but I absolutely love it most because it healed my severe acid reflux. It’s amazing how this simple little herb can be so powerful and I’m a walking testimony to its healing powers. Hands down my favorite herb because it probably saved my life. I thank the good Lord above for guiding me to this wonderful little herb. Thank you for sharing and God bless❤️
I am now suffering from acid reflux. Can you tell me how you used it? How much etc.
How did you use it to treat acid reflux?
@@karidebrock6717 I made a tea😀
Little Country Cabin, just came across your post on Heidi from rain Country re: plantain healing your severe acid reflux. Could you tell me how you used the plantain. I am dealing with same for close to 20yrs. Seems upper esophageal and lower esophageal sphincters are both damaged. Conventional med solution is to continue PPI's indefinately. Thank you, Dody
How did you use it. Same severe problem.
Thank You Mrs Heidi... You've been a Blessing to me 🙏🙏💯. I have learned SO MUCH from your videos. Everyone stay safe and God Bless you and your family from middle GA 🙏 Kendra
Greetings. I have found you not long ago.
You said you don't put plantain in your mixed greens anymore. Why not? Thanks for the time you take to make the videos! Blessings
Because I have plenty of other good greens in that blend and I like saving the plantain for skin cream and healing salves. I can still take some out and add it to foods or teas if I want, I just prefer to keep it separate
I am so excited.
I was weeding my herb garden and was pulling a ton of swamp cud and lo and behold, I paused and noticed that this "weed" was different.
I used my leaf snap app and it came up as plantain!
Yeah, I remembered this video and saw that although a lot smaller it definitely looked the same as your pictures.
I will be digging it up and transplanting it somewhere else, but this find just saved me a bit of cash in seed as well as medicine.
Just harvested this awesome plant❤
Plantain is so great. We use it in a bath or poultice for poison ivy. Super helpful!
Good informational video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Awesome info. Thank you so so much!
Ugh!! I just picked one out of my lawn yesterday!! Shouldve watched this vid two days ago!!
THANK YOU FOR SUCH GREAT INFO HAVE SO MANY FELT THEY DID HAVE BENEFITS. :)
Greetings. Thanks for your service to humanity. I use plantain for bee stings, in my green smoothie and for a tea. I've made an olive oil infusion and about to dehydrate for winter addition to meals. It's wonderful stuff and I am passionate about learning as much as possible to develop my own apothecary
