Back in Vienna when I was a child we had this big potplant with long sort of fleshy leaves. And whenever one of the family suffered a grazed knee or any other injury which started to fester my mother would get a leave of that plant put it between two bits of clean white rags beat it with a knife handle so the green juice would use through and cover the infected part with it. This application would draw out all puss and assorted poison. We called that plant Meerzwiebel, I have no English translation. But I do remember it worked very well. Lotte Evans
