 a foot, and &ldquo;ago&rdquo; a wort (meaning plant) in allusion to the shape of the broad  leaves as they lay on the ground. <\/p>\n<p> There are 2 kinds of plantain, narrow and wide  leaf.&nbsp; Both are good and the whole plant  is used in either case.<br \/>\n  The Smoky Valley Shoshones made a tea from the whole  plant and used as poultices for battle wounds and bruises.<\/p>\n<p> Old timers used to kill spiders with plantain tea  sprinkled on their webs and around the rooms.<br \/>\n  An 18th century physician wrote: &ldquo;in his own experience,  he has found that fresh plantain leaves, placed upon the feet, will ease the  pain and fatigue engendered by long walks.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p> In China,  the common plantain (P. major) is a pest.&nbsp;  The seeds were eaten, with a sweetish, cooling taste.<br \/>\n  <a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Uses\">Uses<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Useful remedy for cough irritations and hoarseness  and for gastritis and enteritis.&nbsp;

Widely used as a laxative,  and combats inflammation. <\/p>\n<p> If stung by insects, immediately rub some crushed  English plantain leaves into the area around the sites of the stings, this will  prevent swelling and itching.&nbsp;
