- If you're anything like me, you get poison ivy while out enjoying the great outdoors. While I love exploring and spending time outside, it ever fails, I come back home, only to discover that dreadful rash starting to appear. While it can take several days for some, I can usually tell within 6 hours after exposure.
I have struggled with this for years, and have finally found some relief, and of the natural way! Join me as I show you how to make plantain salve, a natural poison ivy relief aid.

Some of the benefits of plantain include, but are not limited to inhibiting growth of bacteria and infection, reducing discharge, drawing out toxins, stop bleeding and help heal wounds.
This plantain salve can be used in a variety of ways, such as on poison ivy/oak, bug bites, bee/insect stings, eczema/psoriasis, sunburn/burn, chapped lips, diaper rash, cuts, rashes and even acne.
Plantain Salve:
1 cup olive oil
1/3 cup dried plantain leaves

I have been making plantain salve, I use also coconut oil and unrefined beeswax. Coconut oil and beeswax has other great properties that have natural antibiotic's. It give the plantain salve a boost.
Do u have the measurements? I love the coconut oil ifea
How much coconut oil do you use
Could you share your recipe please?
Yes. Measurements please.
This salve will also work to prevent infection in wounds and if used quick enough can draw out venom and poison
I keep bees and I am very excited to make this salve using my own rendered beeswax and plantain from my property. I do want to point out that the little jelly jars are four ounces each. That would be a quarter of a pint apiece for a total of half a pint or one cup. Not two half pint jars. 😉
Perfect how to video!! Can't wait to make my own!
Watching this 8-19-23.
Awesome demo. Thank you ❤
Thanks! I'm excited to get started and the other videos want to tell me about the benefits, which I already know. I just wanted to make a salve. Yours is quick and easy, just what I needed. You also speak clearly and have a good commentator presence. Five Stars 👍🏼👏💯‼️
Thank you so much for your help! I just did my very first salve. It turned out great thanks to you! I just wish I had your kind of counter space. Boy my kitchen is a real mess right now!
Thank you so much!
Many thanks, I am going out now to pick my plantain and start this process..just love wild herbs..
Thanks for the video. this plant also helps with tooth pain
You're doing a great job! I don't even need cc to understand what you're saying! Yay! 🎉 I know I wrote it down the first time I watched, but I can't find it. 😢
So, I've reached my first mistake. I thought I was infusing water and plantain. So, now that I have this lovely extract, can I still make a salve somehow? Please help me 🙏🏼!
One witch isn’t enough. Two is just an argument. Three keeps balance.
Remember that my fellow wise women. (And try to not get burned for your wisdom.)
This is also good on burns.
Thanks😊
For poison ivy i would use plantain tea to dab on skin. Recipe 1 Tb fresh chopped plantain leaves in a mug. Pour 8 oz boiling water over them and cover for 15 mins. Refrigerate and use
Forest Fancies Pyrex bowl! Be gentle with her! My favorite. Thanks for the video
I love them stye of bowls. Just made a cake for my daughter 39th birthday
Helps burns as well.
Can you mix the dried plantain with something like mint?
What making a Poltress with it for emergencies. Would that work as well
Great for excema
In your video you mention books to consider. I can't find the link or list, could you please tell me what books you were referring to? Thank you!
Do you prefer the fresher newer plantain plantain plants rather than the older older plantain? Does it lose its potency as it gets older? The plants not the salve.
I'm interested as well!!
Thank you so much! We only have narrow leaf plantain on our property, do you know if it have the same medicinal properties?
yes, they’re the same:)
I've heard they do but that the broad leaf has stronger medicinal properties. Don't know if it's true or not.
How long does the salve last in the containers
Can you tell me please roughly what is the shelf life of this stuff? I'd like to make some but don't want to make to much and have it go to waste. Thank's!
I'm a little unsure of exactly how long but for sure 5 years or more.
@@TheCrazyPlace Thank you, now I'm definitely going to make some! Just curious but do you ever make dandelion salve? And if so what are the benefits.
@@TheCrazyPlace I was told elsewhere, a best before date of a year because of the oil going rancid. The plantain part is fine, but depending what oil is used it could be more or less time. Nut oils are quicker to go rancid than the olive oil.
What oil did you use to extract the plantain before you mixed with bees wax?
Olive oil
How long do you put the plantain in the dehydrator and at what temp?
Until the leaves are crispy. Start with 12 hours and check the leaves. Then check every 3 to 4 hours. Temp? Not sure, sorry. 😕
I dry my herbs in my Excalibur dehydrator at 105°. Time varies, I start out with 12 hours, and adjust after that. Should be very crunchy and easy to crumble.
Huh, my experience was putting oil on poison oak was a huge no-no
Where can I buy beeswax? Whole Foods???
Could I dry the leaves in my regular oven?
Absolutely! If you place these in the oven @ approximately 170 degrees with the door cracked, they will dry great. Door needs to be cracked for airflow.
How long in oven?
i wonder. would this be good for nettle stings?
It's very good for the nettle stings
I have read that there is a plant called Dock that usually grows near where stinging nettle grows, which is the antidote for the stings.
Dock is good for nettle sting
Yes! I find a plant, chew a leaf, put it on my nettle burned skin, no more sting! No over-the-counter works as well.
Where is the link to the books?
The books are linked above! My apologies for the late response. The books are beneficial in so many ways and a great resource to have around. Thanks for stopping in!
Is there anything I can use as a substitute for the beeswax?
We would definitely have to research that, never have tried a substitute yet.
Maybe a soy based wax would work but beeswax is definitely the way to go
@@conrad762 do you have a good quality brand to recommend? I've been on Amazon for a little bit now trying to find one w/good solid reviews and many are turning up that it's either made in China, not real beeswax, has rancid smell to it and so on.
@@AmyRector maybe you could look for a local bee keeper, that is where I purchased mine :)
If I kept this in my fridge,.could I use coconut oil in place of the beeswax?
I'm not sure, I would have to research that. I have only ever used beeswax.
@@TheCrazyPlace I decided to give it a go. I'm keeping it stored in the fridge and it spreads much like it would with beeswax, just an oilier afterlife. It's not helping what's left of my poison ivy much though. 😢
I just remebered mine is in my cabinet been infusing since july.. i have so many herbs infusing and tincturing right now..i need ti start selling
Wonder if a medium egg incubator would turn the jars? I bet there is something out on the market. Just a brain storm!!
Hi can you tell me how much in grams is the 1/4 cup of beeswax please? Thank you
I don't know if you found the answer to your question but it is 50.4 grams per 1/4 cup.
@@timdeboer8804 thank you so much for ur reply. Appreciate. Will try the recipe soon.
What Store carry the beeswax
I make this also. I get my unrefined beeswax online. It's a little more pricey but unrefined has all the great properties in it; that is great for your skin with natural antibiotic.
Ok, one video after another one showing us how to make salve, but all of them fail, why? Simple, not of them tells us any measuring. I am an old-fashioned school guy, and I like steps by step.
Hahha i thought you said 24 weeks
I might watch your video if you were not talking sooooooooooo loud.
I apologize, videos are hard to keep consistent sometimes. However, their is a volume button on the device you are using also. Hope this helps. Thanks!
Volume buttons save ears and embarrassing post.😂
