Before watching, please pause, breathe and relax.
This is a short, quiet film where I show you how to make plantain oil. Which I find deeply soothing for insect bites and stings. It is also great for inflamed skin rashes.
Did this video work for you?

Ingredients
- 5 grams of dried plantain leaf (Ribwort or Greater)
- 200 ml of extra virgin olive oil
- glass bottle
Update After Reading The Comments
- Always dry the leaves as fresh ones have too much water and can make the oil rancid and at worst infected with botulism. See my botulism alert on this page.
- I air-dry the leaves using a herbal drying rack. You can also place the leaves on newspaper and let them dry that way.
- The oil lasts for about a year. I always make very small batches.
