For those interested, I recently treated 2nd degree burns with homemade plantain paste. Here's a deep 🤿: th-cam.com/video/SPnbzwwd0bc/w-d-xo.html
I have used this plant right out of my organic lawn for years for it’s antihistamine benefits as well as other things. It’s a treasure.
Another amazing benefit of psyllium husks from plantain seeds is that they aren’t just fiber-they contain mannose, one of the eight glyconutrients (non-caloric, so it doesn’t raise blood sugar; rather, it helps balance it) that make stem cells for fast healing and recovery. Any foods containing mannose is a goldmine super food. It needs the other “essential” glycos to be the most efficient at this, but if you make a mix of all eight and eat even just a small amount every day, you stem cells can go from very few in your bloodwork one day, and within only 7 days, will have multiplied in count into the trillions in your blood work. This helps heal, repair and renew some 200+ areas of our health, and that’s only the drop in the bucket we know about. MIT calls these “the missing food group”. I learned about this from Mannatech, who has done a lot of research on them. I also bought the books “Sugars That Heal”, and “Miracle Sugars”. These are not the kind that cause problems-they are ones that fix problems, even blood glucose problems. Learning about foraging wild foods that contain these treasures is wise. I searched “foods containing the eight essential glyconutrients, lists”, made eight food lists, and have tried to eat from all eight lists by combining them into a dried mix and just taking a half tsp a day. I have no business or monetary investments in these things, but I have skirted 5 fatal illnesses by using these, cancer, COPD, Cat Scratch Disease, Pre-Diabetes and more. I have never smoked, but I did get asthma and COPD from a toxic cleaner sold in a major store we all know, containing the same offending ingredient as in Agent Orange that caused our military Gulf War Syndrome. I promise, we have to fight for our lives, not just survive, and these eight glycos as a major survival tool is known by millions, and yet drs don’t even know they are listed right in the back of the PDR (because their md curric was 70% written by drg co employees who aren’t even drs). Watch out for your health, people, it’s up to no one but you in the end. (Copy’d b4 pst)
And by the way, what I personally call those little neck threads is “bango strings”-I think there are five |||||. I’ve never heard anyone else refer to them at all, so that was refreshing. I also think of the shapes of the two varieties of plantain as “spoon” leaf shape and “butterknife” leaf shape. Hope that helps someone with ID-ing them.
A Little Warning Story:
One day I thought I’d blend a cup of these leaves and make a smoothie and I didn’t wake up for eighteen hours-that’s how powerful the antihistamine qualities were to me, but that’s just me. I’ve never underestimated a plant since. But it did get rid of the itching from my multiple bug bites with which I was dealing. Plants are powerful. It’s like the guaiac tree (from which Mucinex is made, surprise!)-that stuff doesn’t just loosen phlegm, it will loosen the calculus right off of your teeth for which the dental Hygienist usually has to use a dental jackhammer, etc., etc. Good to know. Pray your way to answers because heaven knows what you don’t even know you don’t know yet…
Great burns eats poisons great skin promblem it's good for
Where do they grow?
It was really good information I love to know more about wild plants
I can attest to how great this plant is...We were at a family picnic a few years ago and my great niece,Gia(who was a little todler at the time) got stung by a bee and was in total tears and panic...Well,I remembered that if you chew up the leaf of this plant ,it was supposed to take the sting out...Well,it grows all over here in upstate New York so I quickly found some,chewed it into a paste and aplyed it....Everyone there was amazed how she almost immediately stopped crying...She said it stopped hurting....I kind of think I have been her hero ever since....She is a dear....
This must be what people did for nettle stings. Cos dock leaves do absolutely nothing for nettle stings. Im going to try it later when im out in the garden and get a nettle sting ... it must be that people got confused at some poijt because honestly has anyone ever tried dock leaves they just do not do a damn thing for me anyway.
I have to say I disagree, Dock leaves have always been my go to when I get stung by a nettle, it happened this morning it was a little tiny new nettle plant that I failed to spot in a planter from last year, it got me good on the nuckle area, I grabbed the dock leaf shredded it and rubbed the green sap on my finger it was immediate relief, I’ve been using it since my mother thought me how 50 odd years back and it’s never failed to work for me .😊
@@bernadettesullivan29 weird i did the same today and it did nothing. Never ever worked for me since my mom told me it would help. Just makes me green. Lol! I didnt find any plantáin in my garden to try though. It seems to not grow in my garden. Maybe it only works for some people. Didnt do anything but make it worse cos there must have been hairs still in that I Rubbed in further with the leaf mushrooms.
@@Padraigp You are right. Dock leaves never work. They are a placebo. Only plantains work.
@@Padraigp Some people say dock leaves work when you truly + fully believe. It is a placebo. But plantain leaves always work whether you believe or not. It’s true. So many have tried plantain & dock leaves. Only plantains work.
I foraged some plantain and dandelions yesterday and put them in the food processor for a minute and put it in my dogs raw meal. And today I had to chew some up and put it on my dog's eye because he got stung on the eye. The swelling went down. So this does really work. My phone must have heard me talking about it because this video popped up this evening. Funny how they're listening. Thanks for sharing with everyone!
My phone spies on me all the time and recommends stuff I have recently spoken about with friends. If my friend talks about her cats,,,I start getting advertisements about cat toys and products
@@danielmart7940THAT is pretty scary! Curious, Apple or android?
Treat yourself to some of that , concoction. And don't overdo your dog. Lol
My grandpa was diagnosed with stomach cancer at 62 years old. After that he was drinking tea of this plant for years. He was 83 when he passed
It is amazing to know the benefits of the plant. U explain it well. I m from India n I like gardening, especially herbal plants
Can u send me some seeds or the live root that can be planted here. I m 81 yrs I cannot go out bcs of covid.May Almighty have mercy on whole humanity n put an end to this pendrmic. Yes we all got to
Surrender ourselves to our Creator n cry to Him for Mercy
@@gertrudefernandes2184 I am from India too.You can find it everywhere here
yes, edible herbs has so magic function。Most of elder chinese drink edible herb tea to protect them from diseases
Giuhgg

@@Yeahapple right. I am Chinese and can confirm this 👍
My elderly kitty, Daisy Mae, loved to eat Plantain leaves when I brought her outside. She had arthritis and I believe it helped her pain. She was more active after she ate them.
She liked to eat her greens. She loved baby spinach, too.
I saved her some for over the winter and would put a squished up dried leaf in her food.
She lived to 19 years and two months old.
I lost her on June 23rd, 2022.
So sorry for your loss! However, I am so happy that you were so smart. I am suffering from RA too so I am going to make a tea out of it.
Thank you so much!
Im sorry for the loss of your friend but you took great care of her and had her for so long best from Ireland
There is a very serious problem with plantain, which must never be forgotten. It is a plant that can be used by absorbing it, against different types of bleeding or hemorrhage, because it increases blood coagulation, but this very quality can unfortunately sometimes lead to a dramatic coagulation accident, that is, for example, a clot that forms in the brain, resulting in an ischemic stroke. It should therefore always be used with extreme caution, especially if it is someone who is a little fragile, elderly, for example. And if this person has already had a difficulty related to an ischemic accident, it is totally forbidden to use this plant, in whatever case. Please understand this point.
Awe, but you had a wonderful time in life. You have great memories.❤
My mom used this also for cutsand if we stepped on a nail..our elders knew about all these plants..somehow over the years we lost all that knowledge..thank you for bringing this all back!!

There was a young mother of 5, who got a nasty cancer in her foodpipe! Doctors had given up on her & send her home to die.
Somebody told her about the long panlain.
She ate every morning on empty stomach a handful.
Some time later when she felt fine again, she went to the doctor to check the cancer & the cancer was completely gone!!!
Wow, that's amazing!
An amazing plant. I have used it numerous times. It's great on a sting or a cut and it's in my yard free! Now we know how the Indians and people in the past survived a lot of things. What a blessing!
What an amazing story. We can all do well to learn more about the things that are growing around us that can possibly keep Us alive ♥️
Wow. Good to know...
@@lindawilliams7682 does this grow in India? Or do you mean the indigenous people of the Americas? I wonder where the plant originally Grew From. Unfortunately when the children were taken from their parents and put in boarding school. They lost language they were kept from parents who remembered period but worse than that the others were killed the indigenous people that we now call America. So all of these amazing ways were lost that we don't even know where the best of the bushcrafters and wildcrafters they're still secrets that we just don't understand. I had the honor of working with some people after my 4 years and during my 4 years of becoming a naturopath. Then I went on to help people with your cancer who are kicked out of the club because nothing was working. I used almost zero of the five doctorates of allopathic medicine I learned. What it was good for was to know where parts were in the body and how chemicals work in the body what foods go with what and all the other things came from becoming a naturopath and reading non-stop books from the past that very few were made of Unfortunately they were taken from me quite a few years back. And I'm sure were thrown away during that person's move. Many lives have been saved from what grows on this planet and it's different for everyone you have to use your intuition. Teaching helps but intuition is worth millions.
I am older and on blood thinners(turmeric) for heart disease. I also have thin skin and if my pooch jumps up to greet me I may start bleeding if scratched. It does not want to stop until I chew up some plantain and put it on the scratch. Bleeding stops immediately and scabs over within an hour! Remarkable!!!
Yarrow too
Quit using blood thinners, it will harm you. Have a small glass of red wine, when you feel thick. Don't constantly take blood thinners, I stopped all medication in 2015 , best thing I did for my body. Detox was hard, but all worth it. I am fresh now. No meds since. I am natural.
i love this plant, my grandmother who worked with a cherokee indian doctor, steamed it lightly and put it on my cist on my knee, it drew out all the puss fast and ahrd. had to take it off a bit then back on due to the drawing out of the puss so hard. a great plant!!
Poison Ivy RELIEF!! and it was FREE. Tecnu cream is like $50. I smashed broad leaf and spearmint leaves in a mortar and pestle and made a paste. Kept it on poison ivy with a bandaid. It actually felt a lil cool like icy hot. When it started to itch I'd put on a fresh batch (lasted like 6 hours) the paste kept the itch away and the poison ivy was gone in just a few days. Amazeballs!
I have the broadleaf Plantain growing all over my yard and didn’t didn’t know it is edible. I tried using it on a wasp sting last summer and it did help a lot.
That's good to hear
Yh
You are so lucky to have this plant.

@@rolandstepanoff3674 the only time that I have ever used it is when I was stung by a wasp. I took a small leaf, mashed it a little and applied it to the painful sting. It took a few minutes before the pain of the sting was gone and the next day the sting was not noticeable at all. I am definitely not one to eat any wild plants unless I know without a doubt exactly what it is.
As far as I can remember, I have been eating the wide leaf plantain since I was a child. My mom would cook it with pork and other meat as soup.
This is my favorite, we ate plantain quite often. It was my favorite. My brother didn’t care for this variety, but me & mom really loved it. Plantain sallet and corn bread was a complete supper for us. Usually we has a bit of fried fatback, which mom tossed the stewed greens in.
*We call greens sallet, like turnip sallet or kale sallet, etc.
@@monica1811 I thought that Poke Weed is what they called “sallet”…which is bery different from plantain. Did she call plantain sallet, too? I wonder if that term means “salad” as a general use word now? That’d actually be good to know. Thanks for sharing that.
If you step on a rusty nail, put your foot under running water as soon as possible to clean the wound!! Cleaning the wound is the most important thing !! Let a little blood run from the wound to get rid of lodged bits of rust!
Do not apply chewed plantain to an open wound!!!!!!!!
If you're travelling, you sure have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide handy, so if that's a 3% one, you can pour on neat, over the wound!
Never, ever apply chewed anything to a wound!!!
Don't stop taking your regular meds and you might end up as another victim on the pathology table. I used to work there and saw so many unnecessary deaths; completely preventable, due to bets and jumps from building or fights everyone forgot what they were about!
An image of a seven year old boy who fell from a low branch of an apple tree has not left me!! He claimed a branch which was probably a meter high but fell on a large stone beneath the tree.
I'll carry this image forever.
Study all plants extensively before you consume them. This can't be a bad advice, can it?
This man is too cavalier about it. Don't do it.
@@E-Kat I've eaten it MANY times. No problem. In salads, soups and on my pizza. Haven't you read any of the testimonies here?! Dandelions are ALSO awesome and highly medicinal, from root to flower. ALL of the plant can be eaten, fried, juiced, made into tea etc etc. SO many wild and free plants are edible and are LITERALLY medicine.

I used it about 10yrs ago to treat my father in laws thumb which had got gangrene. He was cantankerous and refused to go to hospital, so my best friend, an e r nurse told him that by rights they would need to send him for amputation as it was badly tracking and had reached 'slip' stage it was so bad. He answered her that he'd accept that, If what I did didn't work! Well, I got to it with plantain washes every hour, with a honey compress, and large doses of capsicum tincture. After 12 hrs and lots of changes of disgusting dressings, the tracking had reduced. I switched to every 2 hrs, then every 4 hrs until 48 hrs later, the base of the thumb had colour. My best friend advised that it needed debriding, but still, he refused to go in, so I did it! As carefully as I could, I then immediately gave a plantain wash and used the honey again. Every 4 hrs. After 4 days, the skin had started to show pink and was showing granulation around the wound edges. After 2 weeks, there was barely a wound to see. I tell you I prayed a whole lot during that, learned a whole lot, and trusted the herbs even more than previously. I need to add that I am a herbalist. However, this was the biggest thing I had ever done.
As a fellow clinical herbalist I say you handled this like a champ. The only other thing I would have used as well would have been Marshmallow or Mallow or Hollyhock. Well done.
@danflowers8584 Thank you. I'd be interested to know how you would have used the mallow.
@@nanyt1812 the three plants can all be used because they are cousins with the same medical constituents based on availability. Use whichever plant you have available. They are demulcent herbs which soothe the tissue and hence less pain and better healing. They convince the cells not to die.
Thank you ever so much for your valuable information, dandelions were my first addition to my diet when I first found your earlier video, then greens challenge, changed my life! Thanks again for everything!
I have this plant growing wild in my yard here in jamaica,thanks for the video
Almost . . you may 'discuss how to find and use', but Never Showed Plantain IN the Ground before pulling it up.
THAT's what i needed to see. Showing Leaf 'Threads' in stem was good info. thanks.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PICK ONLY LEAVES, so the plant can grow again. THANK YOU
Interesting. I purchased broad leaf plantain seeds and am growing them. They are about ready to go out into my garden. God has brought me to this video ❤️
uhh no that was the TH-cam algorithm. The Lord SHIVA works in mysterious ways.
How does the seed looks like?
If you have phone around when speaking it picks up on the conversations and then the very thing discussed is there on phone. Yes I believe too, but in this case that's what happened. Blessings!
I agree with that broad leaf plantain it really works for digestion as I am a gastritis patient just boil or fry it.
I healed the pancreatic burn caused by a ruptured duodenum ulcer I eat raw leaves on my empty stomach every morning since. It immediately soothed the burning heartburn sensation in my stomach.
@@phyllisjeanfulton Thank you for that! I need that this week.
Great against bronchitis when antibiotics didn’t help anymore! Tried it and it worked miracles!
Hello Iva. How did you use it? Raw, cooked, dried? I suffer from regular chest infections cos of severe copd.
@@steenystuff1075 you can use it raw in salads - it’s a bit tough to chew, or prepare a tea with hot water- just don’t boil it, because you destroy the precious substances, or put into vodka and leave for some week inside, or some people prepare a sirupy substance by cooking with sugar- check recipes on internet, I don’t have one
@@ivah2997
Excellent. Thank you. 👍😊
It is great 1. aid for cuts and wounds and yes for insect bites and stings, the veins pulled out curled up and stuck into the ear is a good remedy for ear aches and pains very useful plant!
I have discovered both types growing freely in my yard, as well as wild lettuce and lambs ear. In the small woods I've usnea!
(Upstate of South Carolina)
Plantain ,dandelion are good for everything and I would add a nettle to this list 🌟
I’ve used plantain on acne and I’ve honestly never found anything that works better!
I make tea with plantain the whole plant roots and all + lemon juice and ginger, and I haven't had a cold for ten years, I also put it in Stir fry, soups and salads. I usually use the baby leaf for salads because they are no so hard, they very similar as baby spinach. As many will say is the magical weed :)

Please send mo seeds of plantain. Thank u so much
We have been using it as ancient medicine when we have big boils and also it is a very healthy dish 😊
How do you use for boil please reply
English plantains are excellent vegetables. They're also used for bedsores. It arrest bleeding and heals serious wounds. It's a must have. When using as a salad, eat it raw because heat kills the medicinal properties. Blessings
Thank you, Rose.
My family used this plant for UTI relief. Boil it and drink the tea it's getting rid of the burnng iand help urination in a couple of hours.
AGREE. THIS PLANT IS YOUR FRIEND. Thank you for the video.
I think every child knew about the broad leaf plantain in our village but not everyone believed it's healing properties. I remember it was called a "plaster leaf" and we used it on small cuts. I don't recognise the other varieties.
Great video thank you. I love plantain. It's especially good in green juice with lamb's Quarters, tomato and parsley. I battle getting green smoothies down because of the texture so I blend my veg and strain. Still get some of the fiber but not all. Still enjoy them by the way. Have a super day and be blessed 🙏
I have loads of the wide leaf. For blood poisoning my dad would take the leaf, onion chopped& salt roll it in a clean cloth made sure to mush the ingredients together and put it on the wound. You could see it draw the poison.
Yes! I used for a deep knife slice on the pad on my finger. Healed completely, no scars, no visible sign of a cut in 1 week. Also used on a small 3rd degree burn from a professional heat gun. That took time to heal. Also used burn ointment from Mennonite family. (B&W, I think). No scar!!! Also, no pain with the burn. Along as it was covered with ointment and plant, no pain. But the healing itch from a 3rd degree burn was worse than the actual burn. I've never felt anything like that. Thanks! I'm sharing this!
Plantain (Plantagenet major) is an amazing plant. It has a high content of natural sulphur. If you gets cut and you can’t treat the injury chew a plantain leaf and rub it over a cut and that will keep the cut from festering
I'm glad you mentioned its sulphur content. I was going to suggest it to our daughter, but she's allergic to sulphur.
God Bless You!
I love this plant, I thought I was getting mixed up and did not realize there are two varieties of this plant, lol. He has a good job!
I grab seed heads everywhere I walk and then cant remember what they are when I get home! I plant them anyway because I usually picked them for a reason. I dont have ground - I have containers full of what others call weeds!
😅😂 lol ,this is me too,my family see weeds ,I see food and medicine

Great Vids! Thank you for the continued education. Very Grateful.
I ate poison some years ago and I still have severe pain inside my stomach with no cure but now I found your video and I hope this (plantain) will help me...
You could try getting or making your own charcoal.. if it's safe just get a branch from a guava tree pomegranate mango any fruit tree. A dry branch that hard. Chop it and use small twigs to get it going. Light it let it burn. When its stop smoking and it's just red flaming coals douce it with water. Let it cool the put it up to dry. Bring it inside and use a mota and pestle or a coffee grinder and grind it to power. Home made charcoal . Antidote for any poison in your system.. 2 capsule amount is a dose or a 1/4 tsp in a glass of water.
Drink the dandelion leaves and root juice and mixed with plantain juice together....it will help for detox..and doing intermediate fasting....it will help
Did plantain help u?
Very good my friends….God is a marvelous person….the earth produce natural medicines
One of my favorite herbs to use in my baby butt balm. All of my kids & grandchildren use it on their babies as a preventative. My granddaughters friends baby got sick and developed a diaper rash so she gave her some of her balm to use she said it was gone almost over night . A really great herb❤

Chewing this plant really helps me with allergy (hayfever). I can't quite say i like the taste, but she's ok in salad mixed with other wild herbs such as rumex acetosa, taraxacum and silene
This one is true my dad used for feet infection from a cut a big cut at farm.
Such good knowledge to heal mankind, wonderful work building our planet back to it’s roots. May God bless you abundantly. 🙏🏼🌸🌺🌸
Psyllium seed is not a digestive aid; it is an eliminatory aid because of the ability to create a bulky, fibrous mass that pulls debris from the bowel walls. It can assist with detoxification when one drinks plenty of water to flush the waste out.

Its excellent for cataracts and glaucoma. Wash the leaf dry it with s clean cloth or just shake it off then turn on a blow dryers and give it a pass near the hot air. The leaf becomes limp let it cool rub between your fingers. With Clean hands ofcourse and put a drop in each eye. It stings a bit but the eye ducts will open and the built up fluid flows like you're crying your sinuses will drain as well. Caribbean remedy for pink eye or any other eye issues

How does it help cataracts? I have them forming on both eyes. I take it you mean the liquid squeezed from the leaves, yes?
And thanks 👍
Yes it reduces the inflamation and itching

Inflammation? Itching? With cataracts? I don't have any symptoms other than the clouding of my vision. How does plantain leaf juice help cataracts?
@@steenystuff1075 it won't get rid of the cataract but it does reduce inflammation. If your eyes are cloudy there something more happening. See an ophthalmologist.
i have an abundance of broadleaf plantain growing right outside my front door. neighbor grows lovely grass which has no nutritional value if you are not a herbivore and even then i would not want a cow eating it because of the chemicals he sprays it with. meanwhile my yard has plantain, clover, dandelion, comfrey and other wonderful medicinal plants growing on it.
IAM pregnant but I eat a lot my breast became more and more bigger
It has not side effects until now
Love it
@@joelgangte3293 someone on here said that pregnant women should not use because it can cause miscarriage. Please do some research.
Same here. The neighbors with their spayed green lawns are not fond of me, nor I of them.
This is so awesome! I love that we are all returning to wildness and can see the abundance of food all around us xo
Thank you for the help...I'm chingnyu from northeast india we have broad plantin but we don't know nothing about that now I got it and it's a big welcome to visit and discover so many wild plants and fruits over here you'll fill amazing ...thank you God bless you with many blessings and love 💘🙏
Learning new things every day..all this free nutritious free food..wonder if and when the government will start charging us or preventing us from harvesting ..as always prayers and blessings
That plantain varieties are widely grown in gardens of Manipur(North -east state of India).This herb is called yempat in Manipuri language .The herb leaf can apply to the tip of boil ang foreign substances can be taken out .This herb serves the patient having stomach problem related to digestion and persons having boils on sceeen.

I had a really bad burn from splashed hot oil. I put crushed plantain and wrapped it and it stopped burning within 15 minutes and I got no blisters. I hate burns, so this has been a game changer for me.
Plantain is wonderful mixed with other wild greens and properly cooked
Properly cooked? In what way?
In Slovakia this plant is called Skorocel, meaning 'quick healer'.
In the U.S. it's called "white mans foot" because it followed in the tracks of the early settlers.
Is that the broad leaf or the narrow leaf ? Or BOTH ? My paternal grandparents immigrated to USA
in the early teens of the last century
( 1910 - 16ish ? ) from Slovakia ( to Philadelphia where my dad was 1st born in 1917...His father died 3yrs later in 1920.)
I'm truly inspired, food everywhere! I keep finding the boldest greenest leaves in the park and I marvel at the chlorophyll rich content and beneficial human aspect in an emergency but I don't know what the name of the plant is!! I will dig it up and put it in my garden next time!
I loves these natural remedies.
Thank you for the information. I started using plantain a week ago.
You are right 100%.This plant is the best, can do a lot for human body.
This was so cool I was able to find this ..💃💃💃

😎💖 Delicious sautéed with onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Hot sauce if you love it. Use any fat you have. From olive oil to bacon grease. Or chopp itup to add to your soup. Also great combined with dandilion leaves, personally I go for the large leafes.
This really is a great source of nutrition in both vitamins and minerals. Delicious over rice, pasta, in a sandwich or in a taco. Or your newly found favorite free pizza toppings.
We called this plant as gapa, my mom told me that she was told by her father, if you happen to consume poison or some toxic items, boiled and drink the soup which can subside our digestive system.
Foxglove leaves have threads like that. I have both plantain types growing in my garden. I put them there and they're spreading slowly. Had no idea they were edible! I keep finding out that more plants I've encouraged or put in my garden are edible. The Ivy-leafed Toadflax is another recent edible discovery for me. I've been nuturing the ones growing here as they're pretty. But we can eat it. High in Vit C. But an Ivy-leafed Toadflax salad doesn't sound too appealing. 😁
Foxglove is toxic. Be very careful. It is digitalis which is used to slow and regulate the heart. I would not be eating that!
@@Lazydaisy646
Agreed! I knew foxglove was poisonous. Digoxin is the pharmaceutical version. I gather its made from the seeds. I've no idea about the flowers, leaves, stems or roots tho.
@@Lazydaisy646 I wonder if it is treated like Poke Weed (and certain beans) (three boils and rinses in three batches of fresh new water), if that procedure works to remove the digitalis poison out like it does other plants? Poke weed made me sick for a week just picking it as a weed, yet this boiling procedure apparently turns it edible because of the chemical that’s released.
@@steenystuff1075 the whole plant is poisonous from root to tip its stornger in the seeds but the whole plant is not ok to eat any of it. Or even to touch it with your hands if pulling up weeds it can also enter the skin. I like it though its very pretty.
@@Gasp7000do not eat poke weed or fox glove or any other palnt. Theres no good reason to do so. And you have no idea what cincentrations are in any one plant ..one can be very strong another weak in poison and you cannot tell this by looking at it. Also thrice boiled leaves of any plant will have sweet fuck all of any value left in it to eat so what is the point. You may as well eat grass. Once you wash it enough to remove the poison you will also have removed any nutrients.
Thanks for the great video!
In our place we use to cook n make as salad too for that broad leaf plantan
I tried stirfrying some of the young seed stalks a few days ago - guess I should have boiled them instead, as they were to tough to chew with my dentures. That was a waste of good butter and garlic! Guess I will try some young leaves - I have a large amount of plantain growing in my backdoor garden, on purpose. I have always used it for poultices, since I was first introduced to that use when I was 10. That was over 6 decades ago.
Every time my dog was bitten by a bee, I have applied chopped fresh plantain from my garden and within 30 minutes he was happily running again.
For the treatment of liver pain we boil this plantain and drink the juice... from Manipur,India

💚Wow, your content is incredible man! I have a small foraging channel too, and I'm truly inspired by your work. Your originality and creativity are next level. Keep up the great work and keep inspiring others to connect with nature! 🌿
THE IDENTIFICATION YOU USE FOR PLANTAIN SEEMS VERY HELPFUL, THIS REQUIRES FURTHUR STUDY. THANK YOU FOR ENLIGHTENING ME ON PLANTAIN. IT WIIL BE HARD NOT TO FIND PLANTAIN THAT IS FREE FROM GLYPHOSATE OR OTHER HERBICIDE POISONS! IM GOING ORGANIC TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY! THANKS SO MUCH!
Wow. I did not know this. My front yard is full of this plant.

When i was growing up my grand mother used to call it Plantay bush
She used to boil it to wash my eyes with it
She used it on cuts and bruises.
I keep on seeing this plants and they seem like edible to me... Now, this is plantain... Gotta grab them next time I go out..
😎💖 From spring time to fall, free food in mother nature's grocery store.
@@heidimisfeldt5685 plz can u tell me if is the same thing that bear like banana
@@lawdiawilson7960 , to answer you question, no it is not. They are Two completely different plant.
Thanks for the video. I sell foraged foods at a market and picked some plantain today and thought I needed a refresher on what it's good for.
I really love this plants
What a coincidence i just cameback picking plantain from paddy field not knowing its good or bad but i like the taste so much.easy to cook just boil it..without adding salt,spice etc
I call it plantain grass so that people don't confuse it with banana, and it grows in the grass. I have always used the plantain grass Lance leaf to relieve itching from mosquito, tick , and chiggers bites. I didn't realize that it drew poison from the body. I just thought it relieved itching. Now that I know, I'm sure that I will find other uses for it .
I am from Manipur, Imphal. In manipuri language it is called "yempat". We used to eat as soup with dry fish, the test is very wonderful but we don't know it is dangerous to eat at the time of pregnancy period. Thanks a lot for your information.
Hi i am from manipur India too , Tangkhul ,we call it havathan ,we cook with thuithing powder ,amd also used for cuts and wound and drink as a tea for arthritis.
I dont think it is dangerous at time of pregnancy they just say this about everything natural like honey cheese etc. I know that there are things with thujone like wormwood is bad but i dont think that is in plantain.
@@lummilabarry2559 does plaintain leaf tea cure arthrisis
I sauteed plantain in olive oil with dandelions and ate it today. It reminds me of asparagus.
As ahildren we pulled the stem and counted the treads that wasent broken, and that was a ‘sign’ of the number of sweethearts one had.😂
So funny !!😂😁
Omg, we did it too, here in croatia( europe)😁 I guess the world is small after all. 😃
I planted some of this in my garden in Vietnam. It's a great food source,

Thankyou very much for your valuable video, I love it
Thank you so much
I love plantains.. Yummy
This plant is widely grown in our fields n kitchen garden, we used as curry.
If you get stung by stinging nettle ,,just rub plantains on it and itchiness gets away in a minute.
This guy makes it more simple
I'm chewing broadleaf plantain seeds and leaves right now as we speak, here in my home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This plant called Ekor Anjing (literally meaning 'dog tail') in my language (Malay) is a weed, growing everywhere in Malaysia , in cracks of pavement, by the ditches, roadsides, in wide open fields etc. I pulled one from street side, and planted in my yard, since then I have a lot of the plant because of the seeds dispersed by the first original plant..I'ma harvest the leaves soon and make salad, the plant is growing with another edible weed in my yard, pepper elder (Peperomia pellucida)
And in our place we called it chkur blang meaning goat's ear😀
We also eat this in North Eastern India as a salad by boiling. It's good for its medicinal properties.
@@shungyo6959 yeah I'm from Meghalaya.
Ok there goes our connection. It's good for many things I didn't know khasis eat this before.
@@MimiMimi-bc3jk It looks like goat's ears to you but dog's tail to us in Malaysia! Haha! But that's OK, what is in one's eyes maybe different in somebody else's eyes!
I tell people plantain is my first love of weeds. If I had known how wonderful it was for itching, I would have looked like I was molding my whole childhood 🤣 My lastest love and I say latest because who knows what I will discover later, is spilanthes/tooth ache plant. It is everything every video and book has ever said and MORE. I'm located in Western Kentucky USA and it took me a couple of failures before I learned how to get it to sprout, but it's very hardy and will reseed.
Will it grow in Georgia?
@@thepickypainter9854 Yes. At least the narrow leaf variety. Google picture. The veins are very distinctive.
If you pack a little piece inbetween your teeth it really boosts the rate of saliva production. After some hours if there is an accumulation of acids in the mouth they get washed away. It might help with mineralisation of teeth and repair which might break away tartar. I could feel the vein pumping blood to the teeth. Think it might be really good for teeth issues. It made me burp there was so much saliva and the whole digestion is getting effected. I did it on one side and decided to take it out it was enough for the day like the gums need a rest. Maybe better not to do so long in one day. The next day that side feels definitely more alkali whilst the other side needs more attention like the whole jaw and teeth are acidified. It might even help detox the whole head. Some of the fragrances are going into the lungs aswell stimulating some mucus. Good for quit smoking.
The wide leaf one is called “bokvica” in serbian, and it helped me when I stepped on the sharp metal part of a military belt and poked/pearced my foot. It became painful and, I guess, infected. Sticking this leaf with some fat to the bottom of my foot and securing it with bandage healed my foot completely within few days. I would not believe it, if I had not experienced it.
In the morning removed and disposed off lots of plantains from my garden, n in the evening I'm watching this. 😛
So sad !!😁
