     burns, sun burns, *poison ivy*, dirty wounds, infections + excessive bleeding. 

     ^^ internal and external use are applicable

lungs: bronchial infections, pneumonia, irritated cough, 'tickle' in throat or lungs,

      *draws phlegm, mucous + water from lungs. expect expectoration* 

kidneys: rich in nutrients + minerals that specifically build up the kidneys enough that they can 

        do well on their own. 'nourishing diuretics' are the safest diuretics.

in norse mythology it is one of the nine sacred herbs. it is an herb of travel, both physically + spiritually (it grows plentifully on roadsides). 

it is specifically revered as the herb of Helheim, realm of the dead. this indicates that it can be useful during times of grief. 

interestingly enough, chinese medicine considers grief to be the emotion of the lungs. 

i've seen lung imbalances develop in the grief stricken many times. plantain is an excellent ally during such times. 

death deities are ubiquitously depicted as humble and inclusive. they often have sacred remedies for the poor that are safe, reliable, abundant + of diverse utility. 

plantain is the perfect example of such a plant. peek my 'begotten' incense if you're interested in grounding + ancestor work. 

it's also an excellent specific for people that can't stop crying. plantain heals and balances the 'weepy, wounded + festering' on all levels. 

it thrives in less than gracious circumstances and comfortably occupies environments where most plants couldn't grow. 

let it be a quiet guide during times that call for shadow work and finding your feet again after troubled times.
