Can banana peels treat skin diseases? Five benefits of banana peel

Banana is a popular food. In addition to filling the stomach, some nutrients contained in banana peels also have certain effects on some special diseases. For example, many people want to know whether banana peels can treat skin diseases. The answer is yes. In addition to being the nemesis of skin diseases, banana peels can also treat oral diseases, relieve itching and moisturize, treat warts and stop diarrhea.

1. The nemesis of skin diseases

The organic acids in banana peels have strong antibacterial effects in vitro, so they are also often used in dermatology. Banana peels are used to treat skin itching, psoriasis, athlete's foot or allergies caused by fungi or bacteria, with very good results. Of course, if the athlete's foot or eczema is caused by heavy moisture, drinking some coix seed tea to remove moisture will be more effective.

2. Treatment of oral diseases

Banana peel contains nutrients such as polysaccharides, protein, vitamin C, as well as an effective ingredient called banana peelin that can inhibit the growth of fungi and bacteria. Dry the banana peel, add a Chinese medicinal herb called huotanmu (also known as huotanmao), boil them together in water, and season with appropriate amount of brown sugar to cure oral ulcers. Boil banana peel and rock sugar together with water and drink it twice a day to cure toothache caused by wind and fire.

3. Anti-itching and moisturizing

Banana peel is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, so it also has a certain skin care effect. Soak banana peels in warm water or boil them directly, and use them to soak your hands and feet. Long-term use can also moisturize the skin. Rubbing the inside of a banana peel on your hands can prevent chapped skin on your hands and feet in winter. If there are already cracks, you can rub the banana peel directly on the cracks. In autumn and winter, the baby's skin is prone to itching due to dryness, and the banana peel can also relieve itching and moisturize the skin.

4. Treating Warts

Apply banana peel on the surface of the wart (commonly known as warts) to soften it and let it fall off little by little until it heals. This method can cure warts on the head and face. Apply banana peels several times, pinch them off little by little with your fingers, and it will not recur after it is cured.

5. Obvious antidiarrheal effect

Bananas have a laxative effect, but banana peels have the opposite effect, having astringent and antidiarrheal effects. If your baby has mild diarrhea, you can boil banana peels in water and drink it to improve the diarrhea.
