Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Great Plantain (Plantago major) has a longstanding history of use in traditional herbal medicine systems, particularly in Europe and Asia. As part of folk remedies, it has sometimes been applied externally as a poultice or eyewash for minor eye irritations, conjunctivitis, or inflammation. These practices are mainly rooted in the plant's reputed anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. However, the evidence supporting its direct efficacy for eye problems is limited to anecdotal reports and historical texts. There are no high-quality clinical studies or substantial pharmacological investigations specifically examining Great Plantain’s effects on ocular health or eye diseases. Most modern herbal references cite its use for skin issues, wound healing, and internal ailments rather than for eye problems. In summary, the use of Great Plantain for eye conditions is based on traditional applications with very limited, low-level evidence and lacking robust scientific validation.
