From Herbal
Descriptions by Truman Berst:
#3162 PLANTAIN (Plantago major) Internally, the leaves are useful for
respiratory difficulties, especially those involving mucus congestion,
to help expectorate in a soothing manner. Plantain may be used for bronchitis,
other lung problems, cough irritation, and hoarseness. May be useful
in the treatment of diarrhea and cystitis due to its astringency. Its
constituents of silica and tannins are beneficial for varicose veins
and hemorrhoids. Silica may also be beneficial for damaged lungs. As
a diuretic, Plantain may be used for kidney and bladder difficulties.
Beneficial for children who have bedwetting problems. As a poultice,
Plantain is used for insect bites, sores, ulcers, eczema, burns, scalds,
blood poisoning, gangrene, skin infections, carbuncles, and tumors.
The dried leaves used in a decoction may promote blood coagulation.
Use 6-12 drops in
juice, water, under the tongue or as desired. May be taken 3 times daily.
Shake well. Store in cool dark place. Keep out of reach of children.
