Aloha. I live in Hawaii and I got bit by something. At first I didn't know what it was. There were 2 marks. Some people said it was a spider bite and some people said it was a centipede. I found out as few days later it was a centipede. I used essential oils initially that were helping but not doing the trick totally. I noticed it was hot and becoming red. I literally had a dream about plantain and told a friend who was studying Hawaiian medicine. She got me some from her friend's yard since her friend did not spray and told me to chew it and put it on top of the bite and wrap it in saran wrap. I laid there for an hour and I could feel the poison leaving the site. I did it a few more times and it did its job. I am so grateful for plantain. It grows on our campus at school and I always point it out to my 2nd graders when we are walking on campus. Mahalo for the video and sharing the many uses!

Narrow leaf plantain does pretty much the same things and my courtyard is full of it. I recommend a video on Lambs Quarters. It’s another amazing plant!

I have plantain growing profusely on my property. I always liked it. As a kid, we would snip off the tall shoots, fold the stem around itself and pull the stem through the fold. This would pop the seed head off like a little gun. Much less ominous than the realistic toy guns of today. I also just like walking through it. For the past few years, I have been leaving a large portion of my back yard basically unmowed - only mowing once in the spring, and the second and final time in late fall. The result is a beautiful plot of tall grasses and "weeds" that move with the breeze, attract insects and wildlife, and annoy my chemically addicted neighbors. It's a win, win, win. So glad to read about all the other benefits of plantain that I was not aware of. Really enjoy your site. Thanks.

I was taught how to select and make all those things as a child growing up in the Highlands of Scotland. Plantain is called Slan Lus there - the healing plant.

I had so much plantain coming up around my chicken coop in Oregon that I would pull it and feed it to my chickens. I moved to NW Arizona where there was no plantain so I grew the narrow leaf from seed and bought the broad leaf variety from Azure Standard. Makes me feel at home!

Plantain looks good in a border. We have a wild front garden with trellis to hide all the 'weeds' from sensitive neighbours. We trim (harvest) the grass, nettles and dandelions that protrude from the trellis, but the plantain nestles in and keeps its form nicely.

Great information. I don't use any weed killer (or anything at all) on my lawn. Everything is green and gets mowed to the same height and that's good enough for me. Now I need to go find this plant.

Thank you for encouraging the love of weeds! I also love weeds and grow them or let them grow in my garden like plantain, goosefoot/chenopodium album, etc. Most weeds are edible and those you don’t eat can be made into healing salve. Weeds like goosefoot in summer, three-cornered leeks (an allium) in late winter and spring, JA in late fall and even young stinging nettles and cleavers in spring are all yummy + highly nutritious edibles when cooked. Raw bittercress is common + they taste peppery and delicious as salad and not at all bitter, so unlike its name. Dandelions do not taste great but they are so healthy we give them to our budgies who like to eat them. The weed we have zero tolerance for however, is invasive ivy. (How I wish people know there are plenty of shrubs and trees that birds love apart from ivy for one, and how easy it is, to kill them with just duct tape and salt water.)

Enjoyed this video

A chewed up mullein poultice definitely works fast on a yellow jacket sting, at least in my experience. I had it held on the sting with a giant. bandaid. I kept sweating and the bandaid fell off 3 times (I was cutting my mother's overgrown backyard) Every time if fell off, I KNEW and would find it right near me, immediately reapplied a new bandaid, and it worked INSTANTLY. .

This is really useful. I also really appreciate your garden,and the infrastucture that you have put in your place!That took some time!

Your appreciation means a lot to me. It's been a labor of love building my garden.

A weed is a plant we haven't found a use for...yet.

A few years ago I got a variegated form of this plantain. I have it in pots and visitors always comment on it. They don't realize that its just a "dressed up" version of what they see as a common lawn weed.

Excellent video!!! Thank you! More, more...please!
