How to use Plantain Salve

Here is a small list of ways to use plantain this summer (and throughout the year).

Sunburn

Plantain salve proves beneficial for treating sunburn due to its natural healing properties and soothing effects on the skin. Infused with Plantago major, the salve contains anti-inflammatory compounds that help reduce inflammation, redness, and discomfort caused by excessive sun exposure. Its moisturizing ingredients, such as olive oil and beeswax, create a protective barrier over the skin, preventing moisture loss and promoting hydration, which is crucial for sun-damaged skin. Additionally, plantain salve supports the skin's healing process by nourishing and repairing damaged cells, aiding in faster recovery from sunburn. Its gentle formulation makes it suitable for sensitive skin, providing relief from itching and irritation commonly associated with sunburn. By opting for plantain salve, individuals not only soothe their sunburn naturally but also benefit from a chemical-free solution that supports overall skin health.

Insect Bites and Stings

Plantain salve is highly effective in providing relief for insect bites and stings due to its natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. When applied topically, the salve helps to reduce swelling, itching, and pain associated with insect bites by calming the skin's inflammatory response. Plantago major, the key ingredient in plantain salve, contains compounds like aucubin and allantoin, which contribute to its soothing effects on irritated skin.

Poison Ivy and Other Skin Ailments

Whether you directly apply the whole plantain leaves, or use an all-natural Plantain Salve, these leaves have been known to absorb toxins, reduce inflammation, and soothe the skin from the discomfort caused by dermatitis and poison ivy.
