Plantain the People Plant | Herbal Jedi

[@daisylambert4452]

I was born in Wayne County West Virginia. I am now 82 years old. When I was a child we always gathered plantain, especially spring, and cooked it like any other green family. If you don't pick it while it has young leaves, it will get tough, and will not cook tender, no matter how long you cook it. Here in Georgia, where I live now, it grows in different areas all over our yard. I did not know of all the health benefits. Thought it was just for eating. Thanks for sharing.

[@nobodysbaby5048]

Interesting. My granny used to make a mess of dandelion greens every spring for a "purgative". See Yarrow's video on dandelions & benefits thereof. This knowledge is there but you might have to do some research.

[@triniandahalf]

The worse it gets with big pharma and i do think they are working with and were tutored by operation paperclip scientists the more we will need this knowledge. Please get some good books references as it may get really dangerous and medicines hard to come by.

Almost 70 years ago, my grandmother made a poultice of cream and mashed plantain leaves to heal a bunch of horribly painful boils I had. Worked way, way better than what the doctor prescribed and cost much, much less.

Just found your channel, I'm hooked! I have a great memory of Plantain from my childhood 60+ years ago. After stepping on a bee and being stung a passing stranger asked my mother for permission to help. He did just as you did, took some Plantain from the yard, chewed it up and applied it to the sting. Relief was almost immediate. I of course thought it was magic! That old man I'm sure has passed on but I remember him like it was yesterday.

I have done this with bee or wasp stings and other bites and am amazed by the soothing. I do chew the leaves for myself and have the injured person chew their leaves and swallow what doesn’t get used as a poultice. Clearing out poisons from the inside as well as the outside.

Plantain is one of the plants I recommend everybody know. I have found using the whole leave for tooth abscess invaluable, just like you would for an infection on the outside of the body. 2nd daughter got between the dogs having a disagreement, and she got a slight nick on her leg from one of them, likely from a tooth, and it went septic, not to bad, but enough that it needed treatment. So I told here to put some plantain on it, but grandma would not hear of it, and took her to the emergency room, and they did test, annd antibiotics,and even eventually a MRI, and after untold fortune later they could still not get rid if the chronic infection. So I asked if they were ready to try some plantain, and 2nd daughter went out and got some out of the yard, and by the next day was the infection not only gone, but wound was actually noticeably healed.

I've started spreading it for erosion control. My garden is on a slight slope; last big rain, all my nice woodchips washed out from the rows and spaces between the beds, rinsing away precious soil I'm trying to build - except where plantain was growing. The soil held together beautifully wherever even a small clump of plantain was. Since it stays low to the ground and is so useful, I'm going to encourage as much of it as I can instead of bringing in more woodchips.

Rib wort grows well in semitropical Australia, Northern New South Wales for example. It grows well in rich humus soil also. Juice from the leaf will cause melanomas to dry up and drop off. It takes about a month. Squeeze out some juice once or twice a week, apply the juice to the melanoma 'wart or growth'. It works very well. The melanoma will go like a dry clod of mud, and when scratched, will fall off with no scar or sign that a cancer was ever present. Great info on this channel. Thank you my brother.

[@ScottWConvid19]

Good video. I learned about plantain about 6 years ago and have been using it ever since. It's also a gear food source full of vitamins and minerals. It has all 18 amino acids and can be boiled in water to remove the tannins which are somewhat bitter. One interesting thing I've noted. Plantain is especially sensitive to herbicides. Whenever someone sprays their lawn with weed killer, plantain is the first to disappear. If you see a lawn that has other weeds in it but doesn't have plantain, those weeds have likely been sprayed and are more resistant. Don't eat any herbs from an area that has no plantain in it, because chances are high that they've been contaminated.

Sometimes I need to be reminded about different plants that I've heard about... and a few years go by and you kind of forget what they were suppose to be used for.

Every Spring & Autumn I make a healing skin oil & salve from dead nettle & Plantain. The most amazing stuff! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & enthusiasm!

[@joechilds9448]

My brother just brought me some I used it on my 3rd degree burn with amazing effects

[@longyarn4288]

Another good thing that anyone might have handy for burns is Soy sauce! Heard about it on The People's Pharmacy radio show and then used it on my husband when his thumb slipped off the hot pad when he was taking something out of the oven. He managed to hold on long enough to set the dish down, resulting in a 2nd almost 3rd degree burn! I poured some in a little dish, deep enough to cover and had him submerge his thumb until it quit hurting. It didn't even blister or peel! Next time I'm out camping though, Ill be keeping my eye out for beautiful beneficial Plantain!

[@AnkhAnanku]

For a third degree burn you still should see a doctor. I don’t care how effective it was as a disinfectant you need skin-grafts (unless you have powdered pig’s liver and a lot of stem cells to spare)

[@joechilds9448]

@@AnkhAnanku a doctor was seen and I said no to the skin graft as it's only a half dollar sized burn. Essential oils and plantain healed me just fine. I tend not to do what doctors say

Love your videos and would love to seemore about harvesting the seeds or how you prepare them to eat safely

[@vasemacarokomanu]

Thank you so much for sharing his knowledge, they're growing everywhere outside our home here in Fiji. Now I'll start using them...

[@johnvanegmond1812]

I used to use triple antibiotic on nicks and cuts and the wound would sometimes turn pink and put out a little puss. I have not had an infection for the last 7-8 years. I chew the plantain a little, put it on the booboo, and cover it with a coverlet cloth bandage. When the poultice dries out, I take it off. If I need to cover the wound again I do. When in season, on average, I eat ten leaves in a leafy green salad every other day. I am so thankful for this plant.

The plant to the right of his hand at 01:04 is wild Creasy Salad. It can be washed, cleaned, and boiled with a piece of pork (for seasoning) and eaten like mustard greens or turnip salad.

[@Fiereflye]

Plantain is wonderful! I have it all over my yard and use it often. Love it, because there you are right beside a cow parsnip which is also very beneficial in many ways!

[@L3fT0H4nD]

Thanks for passing the knowledge HJ!

Good for quick relief of tooth abscess. Must do daily but real relief.

[@stevenstovall9668]

Love your channel man. Such great information!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MatoNupai]

Very special plant. Has a high content of national sulphur. If you add some plantago major to salves and ointments the sulphur will keep cuts and scrapes from getti infected

[@robertleski3307]

I know that if you get cut it will stop the bleeding quickly and relieve the ( pain) part I just learned about here, I never gave that part any credit before. If I get cut and start bleeding my grandson knows where it is on the farm and that it works so he just gets for me. Great stuff

Plantain from my backyard played a huge role in bringing my asthma under control.

[@BrandonPetrucci]

No it didn't ...it just didn't...unless it was the placebo effect. Plantain is absolutely not under any circumstances going to bring asthma under control in any way shape or form...if you're asthma was actually improved it was because of antihistamines or inhalers...

[@alew9684]

[@granmabern5283]

Tom Reynolds Me, I cured my asthma with....WATER. Two litres a day. Also cut out most junkfood. That said, I’m glad to hear that Plantain works as an antihistamine.... Or works by lowering inflammatory response, which is WWWAAAYYYY better yet! Where do you think antihistamines come from, anyways? From the drug fairy???

I love plantain!!

[@Herbal_Jedi]

yes you do!!

[@OMGaNEWBIE]

The leaves are a amazing healer. My Mom would rinse & pat dry them & put several leaves on our boils and overnight, it would do it's magic and bring the boil poison to the surface. If the boil was to deep, she would repeat the process for another night and voila, in the morning the boil burst. Just make sure that you don't pick the leaves from a heavily trafficked area or an area where chemical weed killers are used.

[@Mustafa-Kamal-Satar]

I boiled it (Plantago major) today here in Malaysia and then mixed it with other veggies as salad, I put in salt, sugar, lemon juice, pounded boiled fish meat, coconut milk, black pepper etc, toss the salad and ate with rice. Yummy. It's a nobody-care weed in Malaysia, in fact I bet most Malaysians don't even know it's edible. I picked a rosette that grew wild in my area, planted it in my garden, now I have many rosettes from its scattered seeds, this plant grow like a rosette..
