Flatten the leaves using a rolling pin or lightly bruise them with the back of a knife to release their juices.
Wrap the leaf around your knee, ensuring it covers the painful area.
Secure it with a bandage or cloth.
Leave it on for 30 to 60 minutes.
For best results, repeat the process two to three times per day as needed.

Applying the wrap two to three times daily may provide greater benefit, particularly during periods of increased pain or swelling. Consistency is important when using this remedy as part of a broader pain-management strategy.
