Plantain weed 

Types used: Plantain weed infused oil

​

Used in: SOS Salve

​

Plantain weed is a common garden weed which tends to be overlooked in modern life, but it has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Plantain weed leaves are edible and can be consumed for their anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. Applied topically, plantain weed helps to reduce inflammation and promote wound healing. Traditionally, plantain weed has been used as a poultice, applied to bug bites or infected wounds to help draw out inflammation and support healing.

 

I collect all of the Plantain Weed I use in my products myself. I forage sustainably in the Surrey countryside, making use of the medicinal plants which are abundantly available all around us.
