Plantain leaves can also be used as poultices for bruises and wounds. It speeds the healing process tremendously. Natures Pharmacy !!

Most of these common weeds are what permaculture people call pioneer plants. These will be the plants that grow first and fast in areas that are devastated by changes, we can count on these to be there, and to thrive in the low-light, wet, and toxic enviroment of the AfterTime. I fed my pigs some plaintain growing in the path to their pen today. They love this stuff. Also, the leaves can be used for making cordage, which can be used to make a fire drill if need be.
I'm planning to start adding these into my diet now, raw, and cooked. Yummy!!! : )
