Plantain Leaf
(Plantago major)
Actions:
Expectorant, demulcent, astringent, diuretic.
Common Use: Russian research
on Plantain has found that the plants cholesterol reducing property
and its relation to weight loss may depend not only on its mucilage,
(mucilage in the diet has been shown to reduce serum cholesterol levels)
but also on certain polyphenol compounds found in the leaves. The research
concluded that Plantain appears to assist in weight loss by limiting
calorie intake, due to its appetite-satiating effect, and by reduced
intestinal absorption of lipids.
