Plantain leaves can be applied directly to the skin to relieve skin problems. Alternatively, a plantain infusion is ideal for soothing pain and treating digestive problems.
Plantain is available in herbal medicine as an essential oil, tincture, and infusion.
Plantain leaves have astringent properties and can be used to relieve inflammation such as hemorrhoids and respiratory problems. Fresh leaves contain mucillatin, a compound that can speed wound healing and stop bleeding.
