While some view the plantain (Plantago lanceolata) as a common weed, the Amish have long used it to make a traditional ointment.
This ointment is derived from a humble-looking herb that grows worldwide, often in poor soil near footpaths and roadsides.
Unlike the banana-like fruit also called plantain, this plant is a staple in many traditional herbal applications. The Amish version is crafted into salves traditionally used in their community. The leaves of the plantain herb are the main ingredient, valued in herbal practices.
This plantain salve is used typically for:
- Part of daily skin care routines
- A soothing addition to beauty regimens
- Applied as a moisturizing agent for skin
- Applied as a traditional herbal topical agent for burns, insect bites, and more
