In this episode, I discuss Plantain and Mullein. I chose to discuss Plantain because I have been using it a lot lately. I share benefits of plantain, 3 older stories on how I used it, and 3 newer stories. By the way, this isn't the fruit that looks like a banana, this is Plantago major or Plantago lanceolata. I also chose to discuss Mullein because I usually use it more in the summer than any other season (although most people probably use it more in the winter). If you live in Fire Country like I do, this herb is very beneficial. I share the benefits of Mullein and how to identify it. Mullein's Latin name is Verbascum thapsus. I also mentioned that Plantain was the first herb I learned about in great detail. What was the first herb you learned about in detail?
