So, if you know of anyone battling with bedsores, maybe recommend them the use of fresh banana leaf.๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ 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 KNOWS๐๐ผ
