Plantain is primarily used for its demulcent, healing qualities both
internally and externally. A rich source of chlorophyll and
allantoin, it speeds healing of skin and mucus membrane tissue
especially in the stomach, bladder and vaginal tract. Plantain is
useful for gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, ulcerative
colitis, and interstitial cystitis. It can be applied topically for
toothache pain. |
