Hello, my dear friends at Steemit, especially the members of this wonderful # Steem-BRU (BY-RU-UA) community!

It is a pleasure for me to share with you, my participation in the contest # 14 of plants by @ knopka145, thanking in advance the community of # Steem-BRU (BY-RU-UA) , for allowing me to be part of this wonderful and educational contest, which gives us the opportunity to show the hidden talents of such incredible gifts of nature, such as plants.

In this opportunity I will talk a little about a magnificent plant that I have in the garden, which in addition to having a great variety of medicinal benefits, is very easy to grow, so I invite you to know about:

It is known by its scientific name as (plantago major), it is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the plantaginácea family, which is from Europe.

Plantain or (plantago major) is a plant full of virtues commonly used as a medicinal plant, although it is also used by some people as a complement to salads and other foods.

I particularly have great admiration for this plant since, despite being an easy-to-grow plant, it is often looked down upon because it is capable of growing in almost any environment and It does not require much attention, this plant has a great variety of vitamins and medicinal benefits, which are very beneficial for our health.

I was able to witness the qualities of this plant, due to several relatives who have enjoyed the medicinal virtues of this wonderful plant, especially when it comes to skin diseases, specifically the husband of my maternal aunt and my great aunt, who are already elderly, suffered from the sudden appearance of warts, here in Venezuela we say colloquially to this type of warts "Cadillos" and it was thanks to small poultices made with this plant and applied during a period of approximately one week, that both were able to get rid of these annoying and worrisome warts, it should also be noted that this is only one of its many virtues; for which I have come to develop great trust and affection for this plant.

My mother has also been able to erase a little the spots on her face that overwhelm her so much, which is why our family has a high regard for plantain.
