Works for skin cancer!My husband has had probably 15 or 16 skin cancers, mostly on his face. The dermatologist has excised all of them, sometimes taking skin the size of a quarter, and then stitching it together. It is very disfiguring. Three years ago, I found out about plantain oil. I picked and dried plantain leaves, put them in a jar and poured olive oil over it to cover. I let it sit for six weeks. Oh, and I leave the leaves in the oil. Every time now he thinks he may be getting another skin cancer, he dabs the oil on it. He has not had to see the dermatologist again since he’s been using plantain oil! Hallelujah! Praise Jesus! God’s Pharmacy is the best

[@StephStruble]

Thank you for sharing this story. So happy to hear your husband is well! God gave us everything we need!

I've used castor oil and baking soda on a spot I've had for years. Think it's gone now and no issues

Does that start by looking like a new mole that doesn’t look uniform? I’m asking for a reason. Thanks in advance

Cocont butter would Wark for infusion?

[@Harphoney]

A preserving tip for salves is before pouring it into containers, stir in a bit of vitamin E oil. This will lengthen the shelf life and is also healing for the skin. When I make to many tins, I put the rest in a zip lock bag and pop it in the door of the freezer but always have one in the fridge door when the one on the counter runs out. I also like calendula salve also. And btw, don’t ever call yourself ugly! You are are a fine fine man who knows how to sport overalls! ❤

Justin I just made 13 containers of plantain salve 2/18/24. I let it sit in oil for over 2 months strained the oil added my bees wax from my honey bees and added some essential oil. Everyone I give it to loves it. I’ve been making it for years and it’s great for stings and itchy skin. Great video.

[@frannie4675]

[@StephStruble]

What kind of essential oil?

[@joycehaines2055]

I like frankincense oil

[@user-hx2hl1zw3w]

Awesome 👍, I'm going to try it your way. Did you use the root too? Also, couldn't we just leave the plantain in the oil?

[@user-hx2hl1zw3w]

​@@joycehaines2055suggestion if you use lemongrass oil, 1. It smells fantastic. And 2. It acts as a repellent, a real good repellent.

[@Laurar120]

I had poison ivy and itching like crazy. I was at an Amish store. The lady told me to follow her outside. She bent over and took a plantain leave and rubbed it on my poison. It stopped itching and was gone the next day.❤

[@floridagirl8540]

Oh wow That’s great to know I hear that it is awesome for yellow jacket stings too. I found out AFTER I was stung twice in a day . But I will be ready for the future

Hello from Ontario Canada 🍁 I pour this into chapstick tubes and carry it when I go out in nature or walks. Great for spider and mosquito bites when I’m out. Love your video. Thank you. 😇❤️

[@marthadueck6461]

What a great idea.

[@douglasgault5458]

Grind it up fresh with charcoal in a mortor & pestal. The results are shocking in treating mosquito bites. The charcoal inhibits mold & fungus growth in the paste. And neutralizes the toxins faster.. Just cover thith a bandaid to prevent staining clothes.

[@Just.one.opinion]

Smart!

[@TheCodeCobalt]

I love your video, and your son is adorable! Thank you for this. So many people have no idea just how important plantain is. It's one of the best medicinal plants out there, and most people just dismiss it as a useless weed. It's great for bug bites, but will also draw infection out of wounds, cuts, blisters, any sort of broken skin. If there's any pus in there, it will start to heal in, no joke, less than 24 hours. Plantain has antimicrobial properties, so the wound won't reinfect. Amazing plant. And, it's edible. Young leaves add zest to a salad. So thanks again for this video about it, and showing people how to make a salve out of it.

[@patriciasummers8881]

Justin I sure appreciate you going to the trouble to help us learn to make your salve. I like your no-nonsense explanations and the way you took the mojo out of this simple time-tested remedy. And I especially enjoyed your beautiful Southern drawl. I’m in NC and people are ashamed to sound Southern or country around here anymore. It’s a sad reality. Everyone wants to sound like soap opera people or something. Anyway, much abliged. 😁

Here in the UK, I have both Narrow Leaved and Broad Leaved Plantain growing around my house. I love the way the Narrow Leaved ones send up their flower stems and go to seed, I watch the hares that visit our garden and sometimes they gobble the seed heads right up! I have used chewed leaf on a bite that I scratched at and it stopped the bleeding immediately, so cool. I have a jar of plantain oil I made two years ago, just by filling the jar 2/3 full with fresh leaves and filling to the top with olive oil. I just left it near the stove on our kitchen counter, its now a lovely green! So I'm inspired by your video to finally make salve. Thank you!

I am very new to medicinal plants, I’m absolutely blown away by how many plants most people spray with weed killer are actually very healthy and healing. I have plantain growing all over the place. I’m going to see if it’s the correct plant. Thanks for the video. I’ve enjoyed it.

[@gracel7188]

It was listed as 車前草in a 400-year old Chinese herbs/plants/medicine book 本草綱目。it said grounded seeds can be taken with tea from boiled plantain leaves to heal urinating pain, overactive bladder and diarrhea. Nose bleeding and blood urinating can also be stopped by drinking juice of the grounded plantain leaves on an empty stomach. There are also recipes with its seeds and other herbs to heal eye illness.

I chewed up some plantain and put it on a bald hornet sting. The pain stopped almost instantly. I didn't know how to make the salve, so thanks for teaching me!

Instead of putting cold water in to replenish, have a separate pan of water that will be boiling to just keep adding to your existing water. Might shorten your time of cooking

What’s a spit poultice?

[@jazzcatt]

@@user-ms1uz7th1w A spit poultice is when you stick one of the leaves in your mouth and chew it up pretty good to release the plant juices, then take the chewed leaves and put it on the sting, bite or wound. You can do that wherever you are if you get a sting and can find the plant nearby.

[@bonniehiniker419]

I use a bandaid to jold the spit poultice on with. Good homegrown medicine in north central MN too❤

I just now stumbled onto this video. Wow, thank you for showing us how to make this salve/ointment. I'm a retired RN and herbalist who loves making helpful "potions". My plan is to get some plantain seeds and establish a specific spot/place for them to grow where I can harvest (I'm 69y/o and need things to be in raised beds or pots so I don't have to do so much bending over). We are in NC and I was listening to your southern accent (similar to ours up here in the appalachians) and guessing you might be from Louisiana; so, I did some research and it looks like y'all may be in Mississippi? I could listen to you talk for hours and hours. Y'all make some mighty nice pottery, too. I'm a newby potter myself. Just do hand building (that wheel whuped me).

Anyway back in the late 60's I fell on a chipped road and got abunch of reddogg stones in my knee. It got real bad infected and my dear neighbor got plantain held it in her hands till it wilted a little and guaze bandaged it around my knee. It worked fast drawing all the poison and stones out.

Thank you for sharing; I will definitely follow this method to make plantain salve this summer. 🙂 OPTIONAL: 1 tsp of vitamin E oil added to the (oil based) mix will protect your product from oxidation and rancidity, but it does not protect your product from bacteria, yeast or mold. Adding Sharomix™ 705 Plus is a broad spectrum preservative and is effective against mold, yeast and bacteria.

You can also fold up a kitchen towel, or cloth, so the glass is insulated, and doesn't explode. It's rare, it happens! I had 2 broadleafs just turn up! Pretty excited!

Put a piece of muslin ( or an old t-shirt cut to the size you need) into your straining sieve. After pouring your plant material & oil into the cloth lined sieve, pick up all the corners of the muslin. Start twisting the muslin. Continue to twist to get as much of the oil out as possible. Squeeze the ball of plant material. I strain into a measuring cup of appropriate size. That makes it easier to pour the oil into your containers. As he said, you can make do with what you have. It will work out. GOD bless

I did learn something and I subscribed! I got lots of plantain too and have wondered over the years about making salve, now I know. Plaintain is also real good for mosquito bites. I heat a leaf on the bottom with a lighter squeeze the leaf and it get real juicy. In 5-10 minuets the bump goes away and the itch stops. That salve would be great to have around just for that too. So Thanks Much and Many Blessings! And for black powder I make lube with 1/3 deer tallow or some other type is fine, 1/3 olive oil and 1/3 bees wax. It makes a good dressing for leather too. Keep Your Powder dry and Good Shootin! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
