SCAN DOSE SUMMARY

Plantago major (broadleaf plantain — NOT banana plantain) is a traditional wound-healing herb containing aucubin (anti-inflammatory iridoid glycoside) and allantoin (tissue repair). Used as a poultice for insect bites, minor wounds, and skin irritation for centuries. Aucubin inhibits NF-κB and promotes fibroblast proliferation. Limited clinical data but long safety history. Psyllium husk is from a DIFFERENT Plantago species (P. ovata). --- *Reviewed by the Dose AI Research Team and Clinical Advisory Board* *Last updated: 2026-04-06*
