Help me identify this plant, is this plantain? I live in Louisiana and been told it's plentiful. I have a lot in my yard. I would love to make a healing salve if this is what it is πŸ’š

Welcome to Gtags! This is common #plantain, actually related to the hosta! Most consider it a weed, but it has all kinds of #healing benefits and #edible parts! Enjoy your journey with us! πŸƒβš˜πŸŒ±

@mhorianna one of my patients told me about it and I never realized I had it in my yard. I'll keep you guys updated how my salve turns out

@synbee81 - I know you can mash up the leaves, until it's kinda a mess, put it on a wound.... it was like Magic Salve! I would be interested in your recipe!

No it's not @franshinegee ...my kids called it itch weed because the crushed leaf juice helps stop an itchy bite
