Plantain Leaf | Organic | Kosher

$4.00

In the world of natural remedies, Plantain Leaf often gets overshadowed by its flashier counterparts. Yet, those who've been kissed by its tender touch know that this herbaceous perennial is a treasure trove of healing wonders.

Historically, its broad, ribbed leaves have been the salve to many a bee sting, burn, and rash. Rich in allantoin, it accelerates wound healing, reduces skin inflammation, and stimulates the growth of new skin cells.

DIY Product Uses & Recipes:

Herbal Infused Oil: Steep dried plantain leaves in a carrier oil like olive or almond for 3-4 weeks. Strain and use as a base for balms or as a soothing body oil.

Skin-Soothing Salve: Melt beeswax with plantain-infused oil and a touch of lavender essential oil for a multipurpose balm. Ideal for insect bites, rashes, and minor wounds.

Refreshing Facial Toner: Brew a tea using plantain leaves and mix it with witch hazel. Store in a spray bottle and mist your face for hydration and skin-calming effects.

Plantain Poultice: Crush fresh plantain leaves to extract their juice. Apply directly on bug bites, stings, or inflamed areas for instant relief.

Bath Soak: Add dried plantain leaves to your bath for a soothing experience. It's especially beneficial for those with skin irritations or sensitive skin conditions.

Homemade Skin Cream: Combine plantain-infused oil with shea butter and coconut oil. Whip until light and fluffy. Apply as needed for moisturized, soft skin.

Herbal Hair Rinse: Boil plantain leaves in water, allow to cool, and strain. Use this concoction as a final hair rinse post-shampoo for scalp-soothing effects and added shine.

✩ Packaging Note: Online orders are thoughtfully packed in sanitized, upcycled containers to keep quality high and environmental impact low. For those desiring new containers, options are available upon order.
