Plantain Leaf

Plantain Leaf (Plantago lanceolato) are rich in mucilage which exerts a protective and demulcent activity on the respiratory tract. Plantain Leaf coats the airways with a protective layer which has a soothing effect on the lungs and reduces the irritation and discomfort that causes a dry cough. Plantain Leaf's vitamin A and C content help boost the immune system and its astringent properties reduce inflammation and combat infection. Plantain Leaf's high mucilage and anti-inflammatory properties help relieve digestive disorders. Its high mucilage content absorbs toxins in the bowel and helps bulk-up and soften stool. Plain Leaf's astringent properties are effective in treating chronic colitis (inflammation of the lining of colon), gastritis (inflammation of the lining of stomach), enteritis (inflammation of intestines), and enterocolitis (inflammation of small intestines and colon). Applied topically, Plantain Leaf is an excellent wound healer and is effective to stop bleeding and heal bruises.
