Petee Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Excellent find! In these days of increasing use of chemicals, use of natural healing herbs should be automatic! Heck, they're free with no side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavender Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 You should always be careful when using natural remedies as well as stuff you pluck from the roadside or your yard. First be sure it isn't contaminated with chemicals or pollutants. Things growing near a road generally are. Next be aware that dosages are never precise unless the plant undergoes chemical analysis. Oh, and do make sure you have the plant you think you have. There can be side affects. Plantain can cause diarrhea and low blood pressure. Women who are pregnant should never use it as it can cause miscarriages. Not for nursing mothers either. It can cause skin allergies and people who are allergic to melons are particularly at risk. That said I dose myself all the time. I make salves, creams and other things. Mostly though I buy my supplies. The dosage issue is what concerns me. You can easily get too much or not enough when you do an extraction from a plant. Mullen is and has always been my favorite. It makes a great addition to a steamer and gets rid of bronchitis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
