After posting the virtues of plantain (Plantago major or broadleaf plantain) in another thread, I thought it might be ideal to have one started specifically about natural and herbal remedies.

The internet is full of naturals, and I usually hear someone somewhere always extolling the virtues of this plant or that, and that's fine, but my hopes is that this thread be used for remedies that you ACTUALLY use or have tried, and the positive (or negative/neutral) effects you have had with it.

It's fine to post other benefits of it that you may not use it for, but be sure to include how you have actually used it, so that we can at least gauge it's basis in fact, not just what others have read from others who have read from others...

Ok, go!
