Plantain Poultice

Plantain Poultice is nature's band-aid for cuts, scrapes, burns and bee stings.

Plantain is one of the many plants found almost everywhere. It is invaluable as first aid for cuts, scrapes, burns and bee stings. It will draw out objects which get embedded in the skin, like glass and splinters. Be careful to gather it in an area where there is no traffic or animal pollution.

Collect enough to cover the affected area, mash it up until juicy, apply to the skin and wrap with gauze to keep in place. Make a fresh poultice daily until healing is complete.
