Bananas rock

Here's a natural cure for verrucas and it does work as it shifted Jessica's when nothing else worked. Apparently it also works on warts.

Tape some banana skin (fleshy part next to verruca) to the verruca with tape, change every couple of days.

Other uses for banana skin are:

for polishing shoes
for polishing big leaved house plants
to whiten teeth
to heal scraped knees
to heal insect bites

And of course you need to eat the insides as they are so good for you or make a face pack with it:

* 1 egg yolk
* 2 tsp. almond oil
* 1 ripe banana

Method

Combine everything in a bowl and mush into a paste with a fork. Apply this to face and leave on for 20 minutes. Remove with cool water and pat dry

Wow, lots of uses there!
I like the sound of whitening teeth - do you just rub the skin on your teeth?
Thanks Erica :)

Yes it says just to rub on in a circular motion for 2 minutes. You should see the difference in 2 weeks.

Wow, I knew about the shoes as I saw it on Kim and Aggie, but amazing for the other uses.
