Question:
What species of plantain is the best for detoxifying the blood?
What are the health benefits of such?
Answers:
That is a good question because there is a fruit called "plantain" and an herb called plantain. To further muddle the water, their is a species called plantago psyllium that is a popular laxative.
You can use plantago lanceolata or plantago major. You will want to use the leaf. They are very similar in actions.
They are useful in a number of conditions besides detoxing; they soothe inf lammed mucous membranes, so they help the entire digestive tract and sinuses. They are classically known as a healing poultice for skin abrasions, wounds, and burns. Additionally, internally they will soothe sore throats, clear mucus and ease coughs.
Other herbs that are great at "detoxifying the blood" would be burdock root, cleavers leaf and red clover blossoms. Most of them work largely by supporting the lymphatic system, which is one of the body's mechanisms for removing waste.
