4) Heal Bruises, Burns, Sunburn And Cuts

Rub the inside of a banana on any skin abrasion and it will help it to heal much faster.

5) Feed The Birds

I know everyone does it, but did you know that bread isn’t at all good for birds. It makes them sick, just like it makes humans sick due to all the chemicals and processing in most breads.

But bananas are actually good for birds – and they love them too. You can put the whole banana out for the birds as they’ll play and use the banana skins for other purposes too, like building nests.

6) Make A Homemade Fertiliser With Bananas

Because of the phosphorus and potassium content of bananas, they make a great addition to the soil in your garden.

You can either bury the whole banana or peel in your soil, mix it with your existing compost, or blend up the whole banana including skins and mix it in with your soil for an added nutrient boost.

7) Heal Warts

Rub the inside of a banana peel on a wart every night or you can skick the peel on to your skin overnight using some tape. The potassium can make the wart fade away in 1-2 weeks.

8) Remove Splinters

Tape the inside of a banana peel on to a splinter overnight. The splinter will work its way naturally to the surface.

9) Ease Headaches

You can alleviate a headache by rubbing the inside of a banana peel on your head, or sitting with the banana peel on your head while you lie down and close your eyes.
