The more I work with weedy plants from my yard and in my kitchen, the greater my confidence in them grows. Plantain is the perfect\\xa0 bridge for embracing the idea that plants growing around us are remedies readily available. Plantain is a rockstar for healing the skin and mucous membranes where it can soothe pain, cleanse\\xa0 and promote wound healing.

What plantain heals externally it can also do internally.\\xa0
