You know Corwyn, I nearly brusied my brain trying to think of that one
when I first responded to the request for possible cures. I *knew* there
was another plant I was forgetting and it just abosolutely escaped me
what it was. Thanks so much for reminding me what it was!

Plantain is an excellent plant. Master Herbalist Christopher Hobbs uses
it extensively in his treatments. (He's a writer for the Herb Companion
and Herbs for Health. He's also written several books on the subject.
I'm reasonably sure he's a doctor as well.)
