Plantain, not the banana, but Plantago major. Plantain is a versatile medicinal plant known for its wound healing, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and digestive-supporting properties. I use plantain for rashes when seasonal allergies show themselves. I usually get a rash on my hands, arms, and lower legs in the spring, just when I have a lot of garden work to do. So, I harvest a handful of plantain leaves, dry them a couple of days to reduce the water content, and cover them in coconut or olive oil in a glass jar for several weeks. I know the rash is coming, so I have this started long before I really need it. I use the finished plantain oil infusion as is, but beeswax can be added to make a salve as in the photo. I have finished plantain herbal salve in my shop if you need some too. I also have dried plantain leaves from my garden for infusions and tea making as well. Shop HERE
