Banana leaves as a bandage for second-degree burns
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether banana leaves can be used as a natural wound dressing for partial-thickness second-degree burns. If you have a small burn that is less than 48 hours old, this study may offer a low-cost alternative to standard dressings.
