Buckwheat Plaster
Buckwheat is good at drawing out retained water and excess fluid from swollen areas of the body.
Directions:
- Mix buckwheat flour with enough hot water to form a hard, stiff dough.
- Apply in a 1/2-inch layer to the affected area; tie in place with a bandage or piece of cotton linen.
- Leave in place for up to 4 hours.
After removing the plaster, you may notice that fluid is coming out through the skin or that the swelling is starting to go down. A buckwheat plaster will usually eliminate the swelling after only several applications, or at most after two or three days

Knowing that the only skin care product that has touched my face is years is a shaving cream, I thought, if I can do that, ANYONE can!
Also many people didn’t believe that I actually put homemade Banana Conditioner in my hair a few weeks ago. There is no mistaking that this is …mask on my face…
