Often seen as a common weed, the plantain plant is actually an amazingly useful herb that is extremely soothing to the skin. Plantain has a long history as a healing plant and is widely known among herbalists as “nature’s band-aid.” It is edible and medicinal, and its soothing powers should not be dismissed! As a mom, I use this stuff ALL the time on my kiddos. It's helped with bee/wasp stings, drawing out splinters, insect bites, minor cuts, burns, etc...
