Finger digit cure: how to regrow a chopped finger digit
My massage therapist Emelda tells us the story of how her father was able to help her regrow left forefinger when she accidentally chopped off half of a digit with her ax when she was 7 years old.
She saw her finger plop down on the ground, even slightly twitching and saw a chicken take a nip at it. She tried putting it back on, but no avail. So her father did something different.
First aid was to apply a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. Then they sought out a rotten banana tree. Note that the banana tree must be rotten. They chopped of the trunk of the tree and the powdery inside was put in a small cloth pouch. This was draped on tight on the injured finger for several months. In 6 months, the half digit finger that was chopped off grew back!
Emelda shows us just how much of her finger was chopped off.
Emelda shows her regrown left finger compared to her right finger. The re-grown left finger is a little bent, but still complete.
Emelda shows off her cured left finger. It is truly cured because she is our expert massage therapist!

Amazing. I was wondering if there are substitutes for the moldy banana. Only people in tropical countries have access to bananas. Thank you.
