Plantain Flea Seed

Plantain is a well-known medicinal plant that is used to treat various gastrointestinal diseases, including gastritis and stomach ulcers. One of the most popular uses of plantain is plantain seed, or flea seed.

Plantain seeds were described in botanical literature back in the 19th century, but only recently became of interest to pharmacists and scientists in the West. They are currently considered a promising new drug form associated with a diverse range of beneficial effects. Plantain seeds contain a wide range of useful chemical compounds, such as flavonoids, essential oils, organic acids, etc. Thanks to this, they block inflammatory processes in the stomach and improve the secretion of gastric juice, and also protect the gastric mucosa from irritating factors.

Currently, psyllium seeds are used to produce tablets, capsules and chewable tablets. They have a rich range of beneficial properties and their effects can be comparable to preparations containing significant quantities of other medicinal plants, for example, chamomile, fennel or mint. There are many case reports of successful use of psyllium seeds to relieve gastritis symptoms. People who suffer from recurring abdominal pain are familiar with the symptom of gas that occurs after eating certain foods, such as fast food or fatty foods. In practice, symptoms caused by gas can plague people for hours or even days. Plantain seeds, used internally, with a significant number of positive reviews, alleviate the symptoms of dyspepsia, and also contribute to the restoration of mucosal tissue. The product, created on the basis of plantain seeds, is used as an acid-blocking substance for gastrointestinal ulcers, helps restore gastric motility and improve secretion.
