Plantain

Dried Plantain aerial parts
Plantago major and Plantago lanceolata

Plantain is typically harvested April through October.

Traditional uses: Wound healing, insect bites, burns
Folk wisdom: Sacred plant of the goddess Persephone. A staple in European herbals, Broadleaf Plantain and Lanceleaf Plantain were naturalized in the Americas (and every other continent besides Antarctica) by colonists. However, native species of plantain had been used for food and medicine by Indigenous folks in America since at least 6,500 B.C.

Grown using organic and sustainable gardening practices at Rising Herb Farm near Poland,
Indiana.

Plants are dried immediately after harvest in our on-farm drying facility to maximize
potency and preserve quality. True to our herbalist training, leaves are kept mostly whole to minimize volatile oil loss before use.

Sold by the ounce.
