Plantain Salve — An Old-Fashioned Homestead Favorite

One of the Most Useful Plants Growing Right Under Our Feet!

You know that little green plant growing in the yard, along pathways, and around the garden? That’s plantain!

Not the banana-like fruit, but the humble herb that’s been appreciated by generations of herbalists and homesteaders.

Here on our Northern Michigan homestead, plantain is one of those plants we love to gather and put to good use.

Why Plantain?

Plantain has a long history in traditional herbal preparations, particularly for outdoor skin care.

Herbalists have historically used plantain preparations for:

• Insect bites and stings
• Itchy, irritated skin
• Minor scrapes and everyday skin discomfort
• Skin exposed to the elements

These are traditional uses rather than claims that this salve treats or heals these conditions.

Simple Ingredients from the Homestead

Our Plantain Salve is handcrafted by infusing plantain into organic olive oil, then blending it with organic beeswax.

That’s it! No unnecessary ingredients or complicated formulas.

The result is a rich, easy-to-apply salve that helps soften dry skin and protect against moisture loss.

Made with Care

From gathering herbs to infusing oils and pouring each container, our salves are made in small batches using traditional methods.

It’s one more way we’re bringing old-fashioned skills into everyday life.
