    Recipe Goldmine
    Cut Soother

    1 plantain leaf
    Small amount of olive oil or vitamin E

    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.

    You can also crush the leaf before applying it. This releases the healing
    compounds and creates a soothing mucilaginous gel.
