Plantain Leaf Cut & Sifted Cert. Organic (Plantago lanceolata) 1 lb: C $17.03 This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture, poultice and ointment. Plantago major and Plantago lanceolata are closely related, have similar chemistries, and are often taken to be the same plant. As Grieve puts it: 'Several of the wild Plantains have been used indiscriminately for Plantago major. Of these, the most important is Plantago lanceolatus (Linn.), the Ribwort Plantain.' Their chemistries are so similar that they are used and discussed interchangeably by both the old herbalists and the more scientifically rigorous modern herbalists. Plantain should not be confused with the banana-like vegetable of the same name. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Plantain herb for 'Internal: Catarrhs of the respiratory tract, inflammatory alterations of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa. External: Inflammatory reactions of the skin.' 'Average daily dosage: 3 - 6 g of herb; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Comminuted herb and other galenical preparations for internal and external use. Actions: Astringent; Antibacterial.' Human studies have found positive results in the treatment of chronic bronchitis with plantain. This gentle expectorant soothes inflamed and sore mucous membranes. Plaintain is very helpful with coughs and mild bronchitis. Its astringency aids in diarrhoea, haemorrhoids and cystitis. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Refrigerant, diuretic, deobstruent and somewhat astringent. Has been used in inflammation of the skin, malignant ulcers, intermittent fever, etc., and as a vulnerary, and externally as a stimulant application to sores. Applied to a bleeding surface, the leaves are of some value in arresting haemorrhage, but they are useless in internal haemorrhage, although they were formerly used for bleeding of the lungs and stomach, consumption and dysentery.' 'The fresh leaves are applied whole or bruised in the form of a poultice. Rubbed on parts of the body stung by insects, nettles, etc., or as an application to burns and scalds, the leaves will afford relief and will stay the bleeding of minor wounds.' 'Fluid extract: dose, ½ to 1 drachm.' 'A decoction of Plantain was considered good in disorders of the kidneys, and the root, powdered, in complaints of the bowels. The expressed juice was recommended for spitting of blood and piles. Boyle recommends an electuary made of fresh Comfrey roots, juice of Plantain and sugar as very efficacious in spitting of blood. Plantain juice mixed with lemon juice was judged an excellent diuretic. The powdered dried leaves, taken in drink, were thought to destroy worms.' 'To prepare a plain infusion, still recommended in herbal medicine for diarrhoea and piles, pour 1 pint of boiling water on 1 oz. of the herb, stand in a warm place for 20 minutes, afterwards strain and let cool.

Plantain Leaf Powder 360 vegicap bottle: HE $53.99 We use only 100% Gluten-free, Vegetable Cellulose ''00'' capsules for all of our encapsulated products. We offer both bulk powder and capsules. Obviously our bulk bottles are bulk powder, not capsules, but the capsule weight is included to give you a way of judging the recommended dosage. Plantain - Botanical Powder -- Approximately 600 mg. each capsule. 1/2 teaspoon of powder is about equal to one capsule. Powder can be consumed by sprinkling it over your food or mixing it with a syrup such as maple or chocolate. You could also mix it with orange juice. The citric acid in the orange juice will help to mask any unpleasant powder tastes. Other common names: Greater Plantain, Common Plantain, Ripple Grass, Cuckoo's Head, Rat-tail Plantain, Englishman's Foot, White Man's Foot, Ribwort, Waybread, Waybroad, Snake Weed, Broad-leaved Plantain, Dooryard Plantain Common Plantain, like all members of the plantago family, contains a high amount of mucilage, which soothes and cools mucous membranes, while at the same time its astringency helps to relieve diarrhea, excess menstrual flow, hemorrhoids and incontinence in children and adults. It is also used to soothe the lungs while effectively loosening and expelling phlegm and congestion. Plantain also helps to control vaginal and other types of infection, remove obstructions from the liver, kidney and bladder, and possibly help in managing weight control. ''...wherever the English have taken possession of the soil, the Plantain springs up.'' from Longfellow's ''Hiawatha'' History: Plantain is an annual or perennial plant that is native to Eurasia and introduced to the New World by early settlers. The plant has been naturalized throughout temperate North America and may be found wild in fields, roadsides, lawns and waste places, thriving in well-drained soil in full sun and grows from one to two feet in height. Plantain produces a radial rosette of broad, oval leaves and a few densely flowered spikes of greenish-white to greenish-brown flowers that bloom from April to October. It is frequently called a common weed that will take over a lawn, destroying and replacing the grass that originally occupied the site, but it has been greatly valued since antiquity for it medicinal qualities. It grows better than most other plants in compacted soils, and is wind-pollinated and propagates primarily by seeds, which are held on the long, narrow spikes that rise above the foliage. The standard native English name is Greater Plantain, though it is also called Common Plantain in some areas where it is introduced, particularly North America. It was one of the nine sacred herbs mentioned in the Lacnunga, the most ancient source of Anglo-Saxon medicine, where it was called ''The Mother of Herbs.'' In Old World tradition, Plantains were used as a remedy for bleeding, cuts, burns, poison ivy, snake bites and inflammations, and a tea made from the seeds was employed to remedy diarrh |
