'I tried a poultice of ivy leaves on a nasty wound I got on my leg in the garden. The wound turned septic and I remembered my old aunt (a keen herbalist) using ivy leaves on a similar wound. It worked!' Mordiford, Hereford, UK, 2001 'My mother, who was Latvian, used to make an infusion of pineapple weed, and if you had a septic finger, or anything like that, you would dip it in the infusion.' Raynes Park, London, UK, 2001 'Sixty years ago, in Peru, one plantain leaf was used as a dressing on a bad wound to help keep it clean. The plantain was more fleshy that the British ribwort plantain.' Surrey, UK, 2001 |
