Aloha Dear Friends and Family,

"Well now we can all see that when one person falls into a hole we are all in the hole and need to help dig that one person out for our own good.

The info below helps you to prepare for the radioactive activity released from the Fukushima reactor expected to reach Hawaii next Friday. No need to panic, only need to prepare. For those of you who want to use the Hawaiian herb, Laukahi (plantain), this is the herb they used in Japan after Hiroshima bombing, to aid in expunging radiation. It’s not necessary to overdo it. Make an infusion of tea with the herb found in most of our yards. Use only laukahi that has not been fertilized. Harvest it, clean it, and pour hot water over the cuttings for 5 minutes of steeping."
Much aloha to Kamasami Kong and all our friends in Japan, to all the families who are missing loved ones we send our support, and to others, our condolences.

About the Medicinal Herb Plantain

Overview

They may share the same name, but the medicinal herb plantain bears no relation to the banana-like fruits known as plantains. You've probably seen the decidedly nonexotic plantain herb in meadows and along roadsides, perhaps even resenting the persistent "weed" in your lawn. Yet many herbalists consider plantain a crucial healing plant, especially for skin conditions. Consider gathering plantain for your own homemade remedies, or ask for it in dried form at a health food store.

Treating Burns

Applying plantain topically to the skin may help to treat burns. Externally, plantain is often used for relieving skin inflammations, says the Georgetown University Medical Center. You can apply the whole leaf to the burn as a poultice to soothe pain, reduce tissue inflammation and encourage tissue repair, says the University of Michigan Health System.

Our Saxon ancestors esteemed it highly and in the old Lacnunga the Weybroed is mentioned as one of nine sacred herbs. In this most ancient source of Anglo-Saxon medicine, we find this 'salve for flying venom':
'Take a handful of hammer wort and a handful of maythe (chamomile) and a handful of waybroad and roots of water dock, seek those which will float, and one eggshell full of clean honey, then take clean butter, let him who will help to work up the salve, melt it thrice: let one sing a mass over the worts, before they are put together and the salve is wrought up.
