Pineapple Knees

My daughter Zee Peeled a ripe pineapple and said she heard fresh pineapple has enzymes that are good for you--so she rubbed some pineapple juice on our faces. It tightened up her skin (she has good skin anyway) but all it did for me was itch my face. Anyway, then she took the peels and placed them on my knees--knees that hurt all the time--and tried a treatment she thought might help. Over the knee peels, she placed a hot towel, and repeated that three times.
By the time the third towel was cooling off, I smelled like a pineapple upside down cake ready to come out of the oven.
Now whether this treatment will do any good I don't know--but the hot towels felt good!

love from susil

I listened to a BBC radio segment about why the pineapple is considered the symbol of hospitality - it has to do with back, back, back in the 1700s England they were an extreme luxury, and any hostess who wanted to prove her worth served them at table. Nothing was said about using the skin as a poultice.

Hi Laura; I've seen carved bedposts of pineapple design and doorknockers etc. and always heard they were a symbol of hospitality--that was interesting

The moist heat could work wonders for you. I hope it helps.
