Procedure of Use	Ravjibhai Humiyabhai Vasava lives in the Nana Mandala village in the Dediapada taluka in Bharuch district in Gujarat prepares a paste from human hair, Nagli or finger millet (Eleusine coracana) flour and water for wounds caused due to ingrown horns in animals. As an animal ages, its horn often curls so that it penetrates the head or the lower portion of the horn. This deformed horn is easily broken and the wound is susceptible to infection. Vasava treats the wound with a paste prepared from a few human hairs, finger millet flour and water. He applies this paste on the wound and the wound is bandaged until it heals complettely.
