A beauty to behold is the plantain plant, which is rich in Inulin, alkaloids, and noradrenaline. The foliage is evergreen. The trunk is soft, and has plenty of fluid. Yorubas call it Ogede nla or Ogede agbagba, Binis call it Ogheda or Oghede, and Hausas refer to it as Ayaba. Varieties of names for plantain exist in Igbo: Ogadejioke, Ojioko, abereka.

The green plantain leaf is very useful for diabetes treatment. The fresh leaves just boil in water. Drink a glassy two times a day. However, pregnant women should not take this preparation as it can stimulate the uterus, thereby encouraging miscarriage. The whitish fluid that appears when cutting the plantain leaf is very effective in treating wounds, especially fresh wounds. The juice very quickly stops blood from flowing.

Perhaps the most medicinal part of plantain is the sap. The sap is present in every part of the plant. By piercing any part of the plant, especially the trunk, one can collect the sap.

Slice a plantain’s trunk into pieces. The pieces pounded in a mortar. Squeeze the juice out, then. What you have is a potent herbal juice that can be used to treat various diseases. Mix one juice bottle and half a bottle of honey together. This preparation will henceforth be known as the Plantain solution (PS). This knowledge is one of the hidden treasures that many of our well-known fathers and mothers hold close to their chest. In nature the simplest things are often the most important. How often do you see a tree of bananas and pass by without even looking a second? So often, we are so busy pursuing one material thing or the other that we forget that happiness consists in opening ourselves to nature’s hidden wisdom. Humans are busy pursuing gladness and beauty. Yet, paradise lies right in front of them. Wake up O man and woman from your slumber and stop taking things for granted. Let your being permeate the beauty of nature and reflect through you!

1. Nervousness: Plantain Solution (PS) provides quick nervous and even hysterical relief. It’s calming the system and encouraging sleep. Drink twice daily 2 table spoons of Plantain Solution.

Plantain Root The Uses

Plantain root is very useful for a range of diseases. Cut into pieces some plantain roots, then pound them in a mortar. Press the juice out, and throw away the chaff. Mix half a bottle of honey and a bottle of juice together. Once again, what you have left is a potent herbal solution, now called PRJ (plant root juice). For the following complaints PRJ is effective.

1. Prostatitis:

Prostrate cancer is on the rise every day with Orthodox medicine having nothing to offer except surgery, which is of little value. Does that mean there isn’t hope? Well, there is still hope. Nature is without hopelessness. PRJ is of great help in reducing prostrate tumour, urine retention and other related disorders. Drink thrice a day three table spoons of PRJ.

2. Kidney Disorders:

PRJ offers great hope for all forms of kidney problems. It promotes urine flow, and helps with metabolism.

3. Diabetes:

PRJ has proved helpful to diabetics whoare lucky enough to know about it. The dosage is two tablespoons thrice daily.

4. Gonorrhea/Syphilis:

If you’re one of those many people who are suffering from any or all of the different forms of venereal diseases, such as staphylococcus, gonorrhea or syphilis, then I have good news for you. The hidden solution to your problem is PRJ. Drinking for two months three table spoons of PRJ will eradicate chronic gonorrhea and staphylococcus. Continue the medication for Syphilis for 4 months. Venereal diseases are taking time to cure, so don’t expect them to be eradicated overnight. And beware of herbalists who, in a week or two, claim they can cure gonorrhea or syphilis. Do not hurry out nature. Allow repairing of the body itself. That is the natural way of doing things.
