For those interested, I recently treated 2nd degree burns with homemade plantain paste. Here's a deep 🤿: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYHRk62trMljmMU

I have used this plant right out of my organic lawn for years for it’s antihistamine benefits as well as other things. It’s a treasure. Another amazing benefit of psyllium husks from plantain seeds is that they aren’t just fiber-they contain mannose, one of the eight glyconutrients (non-caloric, so it doesn’t raise blood sugar; rather, it helps balance it) that make stem cells for fast healing and recovery. Any foods containing mannose is a goldmine super food. It needs the other “essential” glycos to be the most efficient at this, but if you make a mix of all eight and eat even just a small amount every day, you stem cells can go from very few in your bloodwork one day, and within only 7 days, will have multiplied in count into the trillions in your blood work. This helps heal, repair and renew some 200+ areas of our health, and that’s only the drop in the bucket we know about. MIT calls these “the missing food group”. I learned about this from Mannatech, who has done a lot of research on them. I also bought the books “Sugars That Heal”, and “Miracle Sugars”. These are not the kind that cause problems-they are ones that fix problems, even blood glucose problems. Learning about foraging wild foods that contain these treasures is wise. I searched “foods containing the eight essential glyconutrients, lists”, made eight food lists, and have tried to eat from all eight lists by combining them into a dried mix and just taking a half tsp a day. I have no business or monetary investments in these things, but I have skirted 5 fatal illnesses by using these, cancer, COPD, Cat Scratch Disease, Pre-Diabetes and more. I have never smoked, but I did get asthma and COPD from a toxic cleaner sold in a major store we all know, containing the same offending ingredient as in Agent Orange that caused our military Gulf War Syndrome. I promise, we have to fight for our lives, not just survive, and these eight glycos as a major survival tool is known by millions, and yet drs don’t even know they are listed right in the back of the PDR (because their md curric was 70% written by drg co employees who aren’t even drs). Watch out for your health, people, it’s up to no one but you in the end. (Copy’d b4 pst)

[@Gasp7000]

And by the way, what I personally call those little neck threads is “bango strings”-I think there are five |||||. I’ve never heard anyone else refer to them at all, so that was refreshing. I also think of the shapes of the two varieties of plantain as “spoon” leaf shape and “butterknife” leaf shape. Hope that helps someone with ID-ing them. A Little Warning Story: One day I thought I’d blend a cup of these leaves and make a smoothie and I didn’t wake up for eighteen hours-that’s how powerful the antihistamine qualities were to me, but that’s just me. I’ve never underestimated a plant since. But it did get rid of the itching from my multiple bug bites with which I was dealing. Plants are powerful. It’s like the guaiac tree (from which Mucinex is made, surprise!)-that stuff doesn’t just loosen phlegm, it will loosen the calculus right off of your teeth for which the dental Hygienist usually has to use a dental jackhammer, etc., etc. Good to know. Pray your way to answers because heaven knows what you don’t even know you don’t know yet…

There is a very serious problem with plantain, which must never be forgotten. It is a plant that can be used by absorbing it, against different types of bleeding or hemorrhage, because it increases blood coagulation, but this very quality can unfortunately sometimes lead to a dramatic coagulation accident, that is, for example, a clot that forms in the brain, resulting in an ischemic stroke. It should therefore always be used with extreme caution, especially if it is someone who is a little fragile, elderly, for example. And if this person has already had a difficulty related to an ischemic accident, it is totally forbidden to use this plant, in whatever case. Please understand this point.

@@lindawilliams7682 does this grow in India? Or do you mean the indigenous people of the Americas? I wonder where the plant originally Grew From. Unfortunately when the children were taken from their parents and put in boarding school. They lost language they were kept from parents who remembered period but worse than that the others were killed the indigenous people that we now call America. So all of these amazing ways were lost that we don't even know where the best of the bushcrafters and wildcrafters they're still secrets that we just don't understand. I had the honor of working with some people after my 4 years and during my 4 years of becoming a naturopath. Then I went on to help people with your cancer who are kicked out of the club because nothing was working. I used almost zero of the five doctorates of allopathic medicine I learned. What it was good for was to know where parts were in the body and how chemicals work in the body what foods go with what and all the other things came from becoming a naturopath and reading non-stop books from the past that very few were made of Unfortunately they were taken from me quite a few years back. And I'm sure were thrown away during that person's move. Many lives have been saved from what grows on this planet and it's different for everyone you have to use your intuition. Teaching helps but intuition is worth millions.

If you step on a rusty nail, put your foot under running water as soon as possible to clean the wound!! Cleaning the wound is the most important thing !! Let a little blood run from the wound to get rid of lodged bits of rust! Do not apply chewed plantain to an open wound!!!!!!!! If you're travelling, you sure have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide handy, so if that's a 3% one, you can pour on neat, over the wound! Never, ever apply chewed anything to a wound!!! Don't stop taking your regular meds and you might end up as another victim on the pathology table. I used to work there and saw so many unnecessary deaths; completely preventable, due to bets and jumps from building or fights everyone forgot what they were about! An image of a seven year old boy who fell from a low branch of an apple tree has not left me!! He claimed a branch which was probably a meter high but fell on a large stone beneath the tree.

I used it about 10yrs ago to treat my father in laws thumb which had got gangrene. He was cantankerous and refused to ho to hospital, so my best friend, an e r nurse told him that by rights they would need to send him for amputation as it was badly tracking and had reached skip stage it was so bad. He answered her that he'd accept that. If what I did didn't work! Well I got to it with plantain washes every hour, with a honey compression, and large doses of capsicum tincture. After 12 hrs and lots of disgusting dressing the tracking had reduced. I switched to every 2 hrs then every 4 hrs until 48 hrs later the base of the thumb had colour. My best friend advised that it needed debriding, but still he refused to go in, so I did it! As carefully as I could then immediately gave a plantain wash and used the honey again. Every 4 hrs. After 4 days tge skin gad started to show pink and was showing granulation around the wound edges. After 2 weeks there was barely a wound to see. I tell you I prayed a whole lot during that, learned a whole lot, and trusted the herbs even more than previously. I need to add I am a herbalist. However this was the biggest thing I had ever done.

[@stephenmukaabya8442]

I'm truly inspired, food everywhere! I keep finding the boldest greenest leaves in the park and I marvel at the chlorophyll rich content and beneficial human aspect in an emergency but I don't know what the name of the plant is!! I will dig it up and put it in my garden next time!

I tried stirfrying some of the young seed stalks a few days ago - guess I should have boiled them instead, as they were to tough to chew with my dentures. That was a waste of good butter and garlic! Guess I will try some young leaves - I have a large amount of plantain growing in my backdoor garden, on purpose. I have always used it for poultices, since I was first introduced to that use when I was 10. That was over 6 decades ago.

Its excellent for cataracts and glaucoma. Wash the leaf dry it with s clean cloth or just shake it off then turn on a blow dryers and give it a pass near the hot air. The leaf becomes limp let it cool rub between your fingers. With Clean hands ofcourse and put a drop in each eye. It stings a bit but the eye ducts will open and the built up fluid flows like you're crying your sinuses will drain as well. Caribbean remedy for pink eye or any other eye issues

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

😎💖 Delicious sautéed with onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Hot sauce if you love it. Use any fat you have. From olive oil to bacon grease. Or chopp itup to add to your soup. Also great combined with dandilion leaves, personally I go for the large leafes. This really is a great source of nutrition in both vitamins and minerals. Delicious over rice, pasta, in a sandwich or in a taco. Or your newly found favorite free pizza toppings.

I call it plantain grass so that people don't confuse it with banana, and it grows in the grass. I have always used the plantain grass Lance leaf to relieve itching from mosquito, tick , and chiggers bites. I didn't realize that it drew poison from the body. I just thought it relieved itching. Now that I know, I'm sure that I will find other uses for it .

Foxglove leaves have threads like that. I have both plantain types growing in my garden. I put them there and they're spreading slowly. Had no idea they were edible! I keep finding out that more plants I've encouraged or put in my garden are edible. The Ivy-leafed Toadflax is another recent edible discovery for me. I've been nuturing the ones growing here as they're pretty. But we can eat it. High in Vit C. But an Ivy-leafed Toadflax salad doesn't sound too appealing. 😁

[@Lazydaisy646]

Foxglove is toxic. Be very careful. It is digitalis which is used to slow and regulate the heart. I would not be eating that!

[@steenystuff1075]

@@Lazydaisy646 Agreed! I knew foxglove was poisonous. Digoxin is the pharmaceutical version. I gather its made from the seeds. I've no idea about the flowers, leaves, stems or roots tho.

[@Gasp7000]

@@Lazydaisy646 I wonder if it is treated like Poke Weed (and certain beans) (three boils and rinses in three batches of fresh new water), if that procedure works to remove the digitalis poison out like it does other plants? Poke weed made me sick for a week just picking it as a weed, yet this boiling procedure apparently turns it edible because of the chemical that’s released.

[@Padraigp]

​@@steenystuff1075 the whole plant is poisonous from root to tip its stornger in the seeds but the whole plant is not ok to eat any of it. Or even to touch it with your hands if pulling up weeds it can also enter the skin. I like it though its very pretty.

[@Padraigp]

​@@Gasp7000do not eat poke weed or fox glove or any other palnt. Theres no good reason to do so. And you have no idea what cincentrations are in any one plant ..one can be very strong another weak in poison and you cannot tell this by looking at it. Also thrice boiled leaves of any plant will have sweet fuck all of any value left in it to eat so what is the point. You may as well eat grass. Once you wash it enough to remove the poison you will also have removed any nutrients.
