Has anyone used this for anything? Is it safe to make into a tea or is it just a poultice-type thing? I saw a little packet of dried plantain leaves as well as other dried plants and herbs at a Mennonite store today. There was a bottle of vegetable glycerin next to it. I read the bottle and it said that you were supposed to put herbs in the glycerin to make tinctures... Do you drink those? Haha, I'm so lost... I probably should have asked, but I had a lot going on at the time and didn't think to. The little packet did say that it had a LOT of health benefits, specifically first-aid for stopping bleeding and the like. Nothing about consumption, though...
Well, Our family has eaten it as an early spring greens for years. Mix it with other greens and cook till tender and fry in salt bacon. Great with cornbread and fresh green onion.
