Plantago or Plantago major is native to various parts of the world including Europe, Asia and North America. The plant has a long history of use as a medicinal herb and is described in literature dating back hundreds of years. An ancient collection of medicinal texts called Lacnunga (remedies) mentions plantago as one of the mine most important sacred herbs of the time.
Way back in the 16th and 17th centuries, plantago was used in Europe to treat a host of issues from boils and dog bites to cold, flu and fever. Since then, it has been used for a variety of other purposes both internally and topically. Modern research suggests that when it came to the value of herbs, our ancestors knew what they were doing as you will soon find out.
