Bananas are probably the most easily available fruit and they can be literally transported anywhere in the world, as their thick peel plays the role of a protective shelf.

But, did you know that you can also use the peel and enjoy its benefits when it comes to treating different health conditions? We have covered some of the most beneficial effects bananas and their peel provide.

The Perfect Remedy For Acne
Squeeze out the juice from the inside of a banana peel. It is as effective as pharmaceutical antibiotics, and this natural antibiotic can help you treat the skin inflammation.

Banana peel can help you get rid of this unpleasant esthetic problem, and cure acne without leaving any scars on the spot. All you have to do is gently rub the inside of a banana peel directly on the acne before you go to bed. Rinse your face well next morning. You may want to use warm water as it will remove any remains.

Cure For Bloating PMS
Bananas are high in potassium, and this mineral prevents the fluid retention in the body, which is one of the most common PMS (Premenstrual syndrome) symptom.

Moreover, bananas will boost your energy and keep you full for longer. This will keep you away from “stuffing” yourself with unhealthy foods and reduce the craving for these “delicacies.”

Reduce Itching Mosquito Bites
Mosquitoes can be really irritating in summer, and you may want to save some of those banana peels you are about to dump in the trash, because this “waste” can actually reduce the itching mosquito bites.

Simply rub the inside of a banana peal on the mosquito bite. The itching should soon disappear.

Remove Warts
Warts are unpleasant, painless skin growths, and a simple banana treatment can really help you remove them.

Take a small piece of the inside of a banana and place it on the wart. Secure with a bandage during the night. Remove it in the morning. Repeat the procedure every day until the wart completely disappears.

Banana And Water -- The Perfect Hangover Remedy
You had a drink or two more than you were supposed to, right? You should not worry about the hangover next morning, again, thanks to this exotic fruit. Eat a banana or two before you go to bed, and drink a couple of glasses of water before you go to bed. Hangover is often caused by dehydration, and this combination will do a miracle and you will feel better when you wake up in the morning.

Drunk people urinate more frequently, and thus lose a lot of fluids and potassium, which is  why bananas are the real deal after partying hard, as this fruit is rich in potassium. It will also balance the electrolytes in your body. Electrolyte Imbalance is often caused by vomiting and frequent urination.

Prevent Travelling Nausea
Does nausea keeps you from enjoying the exciting holiday trips? Or, maybe you just hate to travel anywhere, because it is always there, present, ready to ruin your vacation. We suggest that you try this simple trick, and the world is yours. All you have to do is eat a banana before every trip.

This fruit is a great source of energy and it will also reduce the sudden urges to vomit.

Reduce The Risk Of Stroke
By eating three bananas a day you can reduce the risk of stroke by 21%. This was the result of a research that involved 250,000 people, and the researchers followed their health condition for 30 years.

It is the potassium that does the miracle, as it lowers the blood pressure, which is known as the major cause of stroke.

Get Some More “Power” Before Exercising
Planning to hit the gym? Have a banana. It will act as a “fuel” for your muscles and boost your energy, which is perfect if you really want to be fit or maintain your perfect body line.

Banana and peanut butter combination is an ideal snack -- you get both carbohydrates and proteins.

Healthy Digestive System
Bananas are your best friend when it comes to your digestive tract, and it can be either constipation or diarrhea that is bothering you. The natural fiber contained in bananas will protect the health of your digestive tract.

Natural Remedy For Psoriasis
All you have to do is rub the inside of a banana peel directly on the skin area affected by psoriasis. Do this once or twice a day.

This will moisturize your skin, and reduce both redness and itching. You should see some improvement In just a few days.
