. . *Fresh Banana Leaf* *For those battling with bedssores*. Anyway, since most of us still have elderly loved ones to look after, I would like to share with you the healing properties of banana leaf. My diabetic dad suffered from one persistent bed sore a few months ago on his sitting bone. Just when we thought we have lost the battle, our maid suggested for us to try her kampung method of covering the bedsore with a fresh banana leaf. Like a miracle, the bedsore started healing within 48 hours and was gone after a week. So, if you know of anyone battling with bedsores, maybe recommend them the use of fresh banana leaf.🌱🌱🌱🌱 For those who want to try, just wash and dry a fresh fresh banana leaf and place it over a freshly cleaned bedsore".....POST THIS AS MANY ELDERS, FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE. IT MAY HELP SOME ONE ,SOME WHERE, WHO KNOWS🙏🏼
