- Get a cabbage leaf. Place it on the wound with the rough side of back of back the leaf against the wound bandage it on and leave it there till the wound gets clean and clear. That will draw the wound.
Get a fresh leaf then put the smooth side or front of the leaf to the sore. This will heal the wound.
