fleawort
Fleawort is a type of plant, typically from the genus Plantago, known for their small, flea-like seeds. Certain species are used in traditional medicine for their laxative effects and amounts of dietary fiber. The seeds absorb water and form a gel-like substance in the digestive system, aiding in stool regularity. They are also often used to make tea or supplements.
