"Going Bananas"

Here's something useful: ... 20 facts about the natural healing power of bananas.

• Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana peel. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
  
  
• Want a quick shine on your shoes? Take the inside of a banana peel, and rub it directly on your shoe. Finish with a dry cloth.
  
  
• One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach, and with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

I always knew bananas were good for you. I just didn't realize they were this much of a multi-purpose remedy as well. I guess "a banana a day, keeps the doctor away!"

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!
