One night for toothache: plantain

In the Doğubayazıt area, for an aching, inflamed tooth, greater plantain (Plantago major) is crushed, placed on the tooth and left until morning; its leaf is also stuck onto inflamed wounds. Plantain leaf on wounds appears among many peoples, from Europe to the Americas.
