Cut Soother
Ingredients
- 1 plantain leaf
- Small amount of olive oil or vitamin E
Instructions
- Wash a plantain leaf that is big enough to cover the wound. Wash the leaf in cold water, then apply a small amount of olive oil or vitamin E to the back to keep it moist. Place the front of the leaf on the clean wound and put a Band-Aid or piece of surgical adhesive tape over the leaf to hold it in place.
- Apply fresh plantain every day until the wound has healed.
Notes
You can also crush the leaf before applying it. This releases the healing compounds and creates a soothing mucilaginous gel.
