Castor Oil is also great for bruises. it increases blood circulation and speeds healing time. It soothes the "burning/pain" of a bruise or injury immediately.

Thanx for the added remedies for bruising...but from experience when young, regular ole MAYO will do the trick, too! When I was a young girl, I tripped over a tree trunk playing chase w/ my cousins...My aunt scooped me up off the ground & carried me to the camper & grabbed the MAYO from the fridge...I didn't know what was going on w/ that but the next day I woke w/ many a scratches from that trunk but not a bruise one! Till today, I still run to the fridge for my trusty little jar of regular MAYO, everytime anyone has a fall & I can get to it quickly...I don't know if it works on an existing bruise, but U may try it to C if it works for U...I don't eat reg. mayo & since mayo is edible, I do use it externally for bruises & it DOES stop the discoloration from surfacing...I will try these remedies in the future!!!

Rubbing a bruise for about five minutes with olive or other vegetable oils several times per day helps to remove the discoloration. Initially the bruise turns a darker brownish or greenish color, but dissapears more quickly than when untreated. I was tild this about 45 years ago by a 88 year old and tried it. It works! Caillou

I have used Papaya extract to get rid of a bruise with great results. Otherwise I have just tried to duck or dodge so that I don't get a bruise.

Many of our seniors suffer from spontaneous brusing that is made worse by aspirin and or so called blood thinners.
The single morst remarkakable way to treat capillary fragility is the daily use of bioflavonoids. After 25 years in a preventive medical practice, nothing has worked better for this problem.

I wonder if anyone can shed some light on my condition: about 22 years ago, after taking up martial arts and sustaining the usual raft of black eyes and assorted bodily bruises, I recall one day giving my body a firm command for "No More Bruises".
Since then, literally no more bruises! And I have lived perhaps a more active lifestyle than most - crashed two motorbikes, many hang glider wipeouts, rock climbing, snow skiing, and many more years of martial arts (2nd Dan karate).
Could someone explain to me what this means, physiologically?

Thanks,
Tian

Cut a potato and place it on bruised area, flesh side on skin. I'm not sure why it works, but it really does. Arnica cream is also an amazing bruise healer, however, never put it on broken skin because it will really, really sting!

Arnica oil is good as well.

Has anyone heard of a topical product called Natural Relief 1222? It can diminish bruises in half the usual time. Ingredients include: Rhus toxicodendren, Bryonia, Aloe oil, Shark liver oil, deodorized garlic oil, Vitamin E and Shea butter. It contains no Capsaicin or counter-irritants. The mechanism of action is anti-inflammatory and free radical reduction. It's also great for arthritic and rheumatoid discomfort, sprains, strains and itching.

Best regards,

lee kramer

For bruises I always use comfrey either fresh as a poultice or as a cream or ointment (or both). My wife has had huge bruises (from where a horse threw her though a fence, breaking off a post and breaking a 2"x6" rail) which have disappeared in a week using comfrey. It often fixes bruises overnight. It is excellent for sore joints, sprains and strains, and broken bones. My 96 year old grandmother broke her shoulder, the doctor said it would never heal and didn't even set it, I gave her comfrey cream which she used twice daily and it was completely healed in 10 days. And you can even grow your own comfrey!

Homeopathic Arnica is very good for some bruises. Homeopathic symphytum for bruises around the eye, and bellis perrenis for bruises and blows to the lower abdomen. Byronia for bruised ribs.

Does anyone have a remedy for tick bites?
I have a severe reaction that sets in the moment they puncture my skin. The pain is so incredible that I'm immediately alerted to their presence and am able to easily remove them because they are not dug in yet.
But I still get a golf-ball sized, scarlet, insanely itchy lump that lasts for up to a week. I'd rather have poison oak, seriously.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks!

My older brother is an irodoligist. He goes into the wood and picks stuff to make his rub on liniment he calls it. The only thing that i do know that he puts in it is dandilion. No joke, that stuff works miracles. Instant relief from a wasp sting, boil, chiggers bites, and many others that i can't recall. You can almost see the hide grow back from torn skin. Three days on antibiotics from a pulled tooth, one rinse with his liniment and the bleeding stoped. It will set you on fire but it works. going to have to get his recipe. I was wondering, is arnica one of the twelve tissue salts. I forget. I think i heard dropping a little aloe in the ear can help remove wax. Anyone?
