Have you read Earthly Bodies, Heavenly Hair by Dina Falconi? It has a lot of recipes for salves using plantain & other infused oils. I've found it quite helpful.<BR/><BR/>I hope you are well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944883925817632331.post-33956200033900904462008-07-24T17:21:00.000-04:002008-07-24T17:21:00.000-04:00Wonderful, Stacy!

She really enjoyed it especially when I told her we were making "medicine." Thanks for the idea and I hope that you post more about making herbal tinctures and such! We are just learning here. I thoroughly enjoy all of your posts!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415163531945638963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944883925817632331.post-17124516886140246222008-07-08T15:30:00.000-04:002008-07-08T15:30:00.000-04:00::nodding to Jen:: I hate shoes myself, even thou...::nodding to Jen:: I hate shoes myself, even though I find I'm forced to wear them these days. I can remember the feeling of absolute freedom when, as a child, we could shed our shoes in the spring. And the soft springy feel of the grass on tender feet. Ahhh....<BR/><BR/>Alyss, I'm glad that it motivated you to find it in your locale. The leaves don't have to be pretty, though...it'll still do the job. I suspect that the people in your neck of the woods aren't sorry that the plantain is crowded out by grass, since it is considered an invasive "weed." But, if you can forage enough to cram into a pint jar and cover with oil, you'll have enough to get you through the next year's "boo-boo" needs. ;)Loztnaustenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629800078798930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944883925817632331.post-77426834594242725182008-07-08T15:16:00.000-04:002008-07-08T15:16:00.000-04:00Your post reminded me to figure out what plantain ...Your post reminded me to figure out what plantain actually looks like and find out where it grows around here. A couple quick google searches, referencing a couple herb books and a walk out the door... it's everywhere! :) I haven't found any that looks as nice as your leaves yet, though. Here in Oregon it tends to grow on gravel driveways and in well trod paths.. the grass, clover, dandilions and everything else just out competes it in prime lawn spots. It's a serious jungle out here. <BR/>Thanks for another wonderful inspirational post. You rock :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
