The seed husks are known as psyllium and several species are used in the common over the counter laxative Metamucil. Plantain is often called nature's band-aid because of his ability to help stop bleeding and to pull out splinters or venom from a bee sting. Plantain helps with internal problems as well.

Welcome to Storytime with Herbal Roots zine! I'm Kristine Brown and I wrote this story to help you learn about herbs. Today, I'm reading from Issue 102 - Gregarious Ground Ivy (July 2017) which you can find here: https://herbalrootszine.com/product/ground-ivy-issue-102/ Do you recognize this Mint family herb? Ground Ivy can often be found by his scent that wafts up when you walk through it or mow over it. Ground Ivy is probably most commonly known in the herbal world for his usefulness in being able to remove heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and aluminum from the body due to his high levels of vitamin C which bind with the soft, heavy metals. Ground Ivy has a long history of being used for chelation and is listed in various historical herbals for treating ‘painters colic’ or ‘lead colic’ as lead poisoning was known by. As a hepatoprotective herb, Ground Ivy protects the liver from these heavy metals by binding with them so they can be filtered and removed from the body through the kidneys. In addition, Ground Ivy is useful for many other ailments including eye issues, kidney problems, chronic sciatica pain, digestive and urinary issues, inner ear afflictions and hot, wet respiratory conditions. Ground Ivy is commonly known by many names including Gill-over-the-ground, Gill-over-the-hill, Lizzy-run-up-the-Hedge, Gill-go-by-the-Hedge, Robin-run-in-the-Hedge, creeping Charlie, catsfoot, cat’s paw, turnhoof and alehoofe. That’s quite a lot of names for one plant! Today's story tells you how he got all his names! Want to learn more about herbal medicine? Join Herb Club!
