Plantain Leaves (ribwort) - Skin Healing, Gut Soothing & Wound Support
Plantain leaf (Plantago major) is a humble herb with powerful healing gifts. Known as the “green bandage” of the wild, it’s rich in soothing mucilage, antibacterial compounds, and gentle astringents that help repair damaged tissue—from the gut lining to the skin’s surface.
Used traditionally for wounds, bites, burns, ulcers, and digestive irritation, plantain leaf cools inflammation and draws out toxins. Internally, it can help soothe leaky gut, ulcers, and IBS symptoms. Externally, it’s a first-aid essential. Plantain is an unsung hero in the world of herbal healing—quiet, grounded, and incredibly effective.
