English Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) is an exceptional, clinically validated tissue-healing and respiratory herb rich in iridoid glycosides (specifically aucubin), mucilage, and tannins. Aucubin acts as a potent natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent, while its rich mucilage coats and protects inflamed mucous membranes of the respiratory tract to calm dry, hacking coughs. Topically, it draws out toxins and accelerates wound healing.
