Here’s a short video on how I treated an insect sting on my knuckle at work with some plantain today. Plantain is a great medicinal herb that is both very conspicuous and very safe. It’s a well known herb, sometimes considered a weed, that is often found in lawns, nature strips, and parks.
The compounds in the leaves are extremely useful at pulling out toxins and poisons, and old timers have used this wonder plant to treat all sorts of cuts, bites, and envenomations. My sting today was on my knuckle! Ouch! But the plantain (genus plantago) worked it’s magic and after just a few hours I couldn’t even tell which finger had gotten stung!

Hey Jason- neat tip! I couldn’t hear any audio on that video, though. I’m pretty sure it’s the video because I tried to watch another Youtube video right afterward and the audio came through.

Thanks Aaron!
Something went wrong in the upload, but it should be working fine now. Thanks for the heads-up!
