Any tips on ways to preserve plantain other than making an oil based salve?
I have good luck with making good salves from dried plantain and usually olive oil. However I'd like to explore other ways, for wounds that would benefit from a non-oil substance (like burns because oils hold in heat) and to reduce my dependence on oil...olive oil. Lol.
Perhaps a sort of low temp infusion in aloe juice? I think that would require refrigeration though.
Maybe just drying the leaves and crushing them into a poultice as needed? Don't reinvent the wheel, right....
