Plantain (Dried) is Plantain that has been dried for storage. It is ground into a Plantain Poultice to help wounds heal.
It suits a survivor who forages in the warm months and wants wound care later. Its strength is that it keeps, while fresh Plantain spoils within about a week. Its cost is quantity, since each poultice takes five of it.
Most dried Plantain is made by drying the fresh herb. A little also turns up in survivor safehouses. The Doctor is the best occupation for first aid. It starts with the most First Aid skill. The Nurse and the Park Ranger also start with some First Aid skill.
How to Use Plantain (Dried)
The Grind Up Plantain recipe crushes five Plantain (Dried) into a Plantain Poultice. Fresh and dried Plantain can be mixed in the same batch. The recipe needs a Mortar and Pestle or Ceramic Mortar and Pestle, which is kept. It must be learned first.
The poultice goes on a wound through the Plantain Poultice option on the health panel. A bandage then goes on top. Under the bandage, the poultice helps the wound heal faster than a bandage alone.
