What is Plantain Salve?
Plantain salve is a natural ointment made from the leaves of the plantain plant, a common weed that’s often overlooked for its medicinal properties and nutritional benefits. Rich in allantoin, an anti-inflammatory compound, plantain salve is used traditionally to soothe and heal skin irritations such as bug bites, sunburns, and small cuts. It is especially great for soothing itchiness. It’s a wonderful, all-natural addition to any home first aid kit, offering a gentle and effective remedy to care for your skin.
Important: Plantain Weed is not related to the fruit called plantain, which is like a banana.
