I agree with better raw! Normally I don't eat this one, but I do chew it for using while out and about.
This plant is my most used medicine friend.
It sounds like you have moved! I've been preoccupied with real life lately, I must have missed the big event. Congrats!
Almost almost... you didn't quite miss anything big. We are packing tomorrow, moving friday, spending memorial day weekend unpacking into our new trailer and than... one more week of work nefore we are officially moved full time!
A friend of mone use to chew up plantain to rub the juces on minor cuts and scrapes. But some of it is it quite tasty raw.
So exciting! Enjoy this time of change... And travel safely! I look forward to hearing about it.
Ah Thank you, I'll be telling our stories for sure! I like change so this is a good thing. Stressed out a bit today as things are going very slow with the packing, but what ever, it will be done in the end!
If you like plaintain (I sure do), comfrey will impress you too. It heals faster, and penetrates deeper. :)
Comfrey is a dear old friend of mine as well.
It heals so strongly that the first thing I was taught was never to use it on a skin wound, it can trap infection inside. Very powerful healer for deeper injuries. My plant has been with me all throughout our homestead adventure.
Great mention @smithlabs
Yes, it is not for puncture wounds! I have used it for recluse spider bites very successfully. I have never seen anything work better! The lady had 5 bites close together on her neck. The doctor sent her home with pain meds. It was close to healed the next day, and gone in 3 days.
