The banana is very useful in inflammation of all kinds. For
this reason it is very helpful in cases of typhoid fever, gastritis,
peritonitis, etc. It may constitute the only food acceptable for a time. Not
only does it in fact subdue the inflammation of the intestines, but, in the opinion
of at least one authority, as it consists of 95%. Nutriment, it does not
possess adequate waste matter to irritate the inflamed spots.
But immense care should be taken in its administration. The
banana should be carefully sound and ripe, and the whole stringy portion carefully removed. It should
then be mashed and beaten to a cream. In harsh cases it is better to give this
neat. But if not liked by the patient a little lemon juice, well mixed in, may
render it more suitable. It may also be taken with fresh cream.
There is a person who had a very wide experience in illness. That
she was once suddenly sent for at night to a girl suffering from peritonitis.
Not knowing what she might, or might not; find in the way of remedies when she
arrived at her destination. It took with her some strong barley water, bananas,
and an enema syringe. She found the girl lying across the bed screaming,
obviously in agony. First of all my friend administered a warm water enema.
A pint of plain warm water was injected first, and after this
had come away as much warm water as could be got in was injected and then
allowed to come away. The object of this was to methodically wash out the
bowels. Then the barley water was warmed, the bananas mashed, and beaten to
cream, with mixed in with the barley water.
A relaxing nutrient lotion was thus prepared, and as much as
the patient could bear happily was injected in the bowel and retained as long
as possible. The effect was truly magical. The pain subsided, and the patient eventually
recovered.
In the absence of completely
ripe bananas, baked bananas may be used.
But, even though better than no fruit at all, cooked fruit is never as precious
as the fresh fruit, if only the latter be absolutely ripe. Bananas should be
baked in their skins, and the stringy pieces carefully removed before eating.
From twenty minutes to half an hour's slow cooking is required.
Bananas are exceptional food for anemic persons on account of
the iron they contain. A very edible way of taking them is with fresh orange
juice. A moderately old-fashioned remedy, for sprained or bruised places that
show a propensity to become inflamed is to apply a plaster of banana skin.
