Plantain for the win! My daughter got a spider 🕷 bite yesterday morning that immediately swelled and became hard so I ran out to the backyard and grabbed a Plantain leaf. I bruised the leaf and placed it on the bite mark then wrapped her foot with an elastic bandage. We changed out the Plantain leaf 3 times and by last night it was totally back to normal! 🙌🏼

Plantain can actually pull out venom or infection from the skin’s tissues. Native Americans called it “snake weed” for this reason.

As a caveat I’m not saying to use it in replacement of medical treatment for a venomous snake or poisonous spider bite but what I am saying is to use it until you can get medical treatment if needed. In a survival situation knowing how to identify and use Plantain could very well save your life.

Did you know that Magnolia has potent anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive (reducing sensitivity to painful stimuli) properties? The bark, green cones and flower buds can all be used.

It is also shown to work on the endocrine system by increasing GABA activity and reducing stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol.

Magnolia can be made into a tincture or it’s petals used in a salad. 🥗
