Plantain is one of the most common yet underestimated herbs in the world. Often dismissed as a simple “lawn weed,” Plantain has been treasured for centuries by herbalists, healers, and folkloric traditions for its powerful soothing, drawing, and protective qualities. With its unmistakable ribbed leaves and tall seed stalks, this humble herb grows almost everywhere humans settle, offering its medicine freely to anyone who knows how to recognize it.
