Herbal medicine can be a valuable complement, but it should not be a substitute for conventional medicine for serious illnesses or when urgent medical treatment is needed. However, it is well known that medicine in Cuba is going through an undeniable crisis. Doctors no longer prescribe some medications because they are not available in pharmacies, and when it comes to children, there is no risk of acquiring them in street markets.
Therefore, the doctor recommended curing with plantain.
The plantain is a small plant with four or five leaves attached to the ground. It is generally found in spring and in humid areas. The plantain's scientific name is Plantago lanceolata, and it is also known as Greater Plantain. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties are among its benefits.
Procedure
I'll explain my procedure for preparing and applying plantain in cases of stomatitis, ulcers, throat infections, or gum pain. Prepare a disinfected gauze cloth, preferably white and freshly boiled. Take 3 plantain leaves and wash them with plenty of water. Boil half a liter of salted water.
When it begins to boil, insert the leaves by the stem and quickly remove them. Place the leaves on the cloth and wrap them, grouping them together. Gently tap with a spoon until the leaves sway. Then squeeze the leaves, wrapped in the cloth, over a clean saucepan.
The steeped leaves can be used by placing them in boiling water and removing the water after a few minutes. Once the water has cooled, strain it and use it as a gargle or swish. The use of medicinal herbs is a practice in my family, although we always take extreme care in their use.
Here's the application time. We monitored any reactions. We started with a low dose to observe how it progressed. Fortunately, plantain's properties are effective, and within a few days we saw improvement in the treated lesion.
Be sure to consult a professional or your doctor before using herbs, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition, are taking medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Medicinal herbs are beneficial but can cause allergies if not used properly.

El llantén es una planta pequeña, con 4 o 5 hojas pegadas a la tierrra. Generalmente se encuentra en primavera y en espacios húmedos.
El nombre científico del llantén es Plantago lanceolata y también es conocido como Llantén Mayor. Dentro de sus propiedades está antibacteriana y antinflamatoria.
Procedimiento
Te explico mi procedimiento para preparar y aplicar el llantén en caso de estomatitis, úlceras, infección en garganta o molestias en encias.
Preparas un tejido de gasa desinfectado, preferiblemente blanco y recien hervido.
Tomas 3 hojas de llantén, las lavas con abundante agua.
Pones a herbir medio litro de agua con sal. Cuando comienza la ebullición, introduces las hojas agarradas por el tallo y las retira rapidamente.
Pones las hojas sobre el tejido y envuelves agrupándolas en un punto, golpeas suavemente con una cuchara hasta mecerar las hojas.
Luego exprimes las hojas envueltas en el paño, sobre una cazuela limpia.
Las hojas meceradas pueden ser utilizadas, las echas en agua hirviendo y luego de un minutos lo retiras. Una vez el agua fresca la cuelas y puedes utilizarlas como buchadas o gargaras.
El uso de las hierbas medicinales es una práctica en mi familia, aunque siempre extremamos cuidados en su uso.
Aquí les muestro el momento de la aplicación. Estuvimos al tanto de cualquier reaccion. Comienzamos con una dosis baja para observar cómo evolucionaba.
Afortunadamente las propiedades del llantén son efectiva y en pocos días hemos visto la evolución en la lesión tratada.
No dejes de consultar a un profesional o con tu médico antes de usar hierbas, especialmente si tienes alguna condición médica preexistente, estás tomando medicamentos, estás embarazada o amamantando. Las hierbas medicinales son benefiosas pero pueden causar alergias si no se usan debidamente.
