This is used to fight cystitis, diarrhea and lung infections. You can also apply the juice on the wounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Infusion<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;: Drink a cup 3 times a day to fight against phlegm. Use the infusion to gargle and soothe a sore throat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Syrup<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;: Add 225 grams of sugar to 300 ml of infusion and take 5 ml (1 teaspoon) to relieve sore throats and coughs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poultices<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;: Grind the green leaves to make a poultice for slow-healing wounds or chronic ulcers. Also useful in case of insect bites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know all the wonderful\u00a0\u00a0<strong>properties of the lanceolate plantain<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0, the next time you see one, pick it up and try to use it: it is a wonder of nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our ancestors often used it, both in cooking and as a natural remedy:&nbsp;&nbsp;lanceolate plantain&nbsp;&nbsp;is one of the most present spontaneous medicinal herbs in our country and can be used for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3311,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 -
