Soybean Paste: A Natural Remedy for Little Wounds

We get cuts a lot during the day. We either get those awful paper cuts while we organize or terrible scratches when we clean the house. You usually need to buy some costly lotion or ointment to make sure that the small cut doesn't cause any complications later on. But we just found out that we don't need to buy those things. Just use soybean paste instead, like Korean grandparents say.

The germs in it will help your wound heal, and if you don't use it, you can still eat it for dinner. Sounds like a win-win to us.
