And the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand!
Amid thornless lote-trees, And banana-trees (with fruits), one above another.
And extended shade, And water flowing constantly, And abundant fruit.."

A remedy that I have learned and applied few times.. the banana skin is good for itchiness and to remove scars.
Apply the slimy part of the banana skin to the effected skin area. You will feel bit cold at the applied area but dry - not and slimy. Within minutes.. the applied area will feel powdery. Rinse the area. Apply this few times a day. The more you applied, the better the result will be.. Insya Allah..

Scientific reason.. It contain high element of Vitamin E which is good for our skin.

not really sure about the scar actually..

but i don't really think it's one of the favorable fruit to most of people..
