A.Vogel's Plantago Drops is a traditional herbal remedy used in the treatment of sinus congestion, middle ear infections, post nasal drip and catarrh. Plantago is one of the few herbs that penetrate the middle and inner ear canal. It has natural antibacterial properties.
Plantago lanceolata, or as it is more commonly known, Lance Leaf Plantain, can be found in all but the most acidic grasslands in Britain and many parts of Europe.

Culpepper, the well known herbalist, described the herb as both astringent and soothing. Some years later, Alfred Vogel also found Plantago to be one of the ‘undervalued’ plants used in healthcare.
