Bruises

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone knows any treatments to put on bruises to make them heal quicker and hurt less? I know about putting Witchazel on them to bring out the bruising but I was just wondering if there was anything else...

Thanks

Arnica. You can take it in tablet form and I think they now do a cream.

Depends on how bad the bruise is as to how quickly it works.

errrr...someone once told me to boil an egg and then hold it against the bruise for a while lol. sounds odd, but this person does have a lot of experience with this sort of thing so maybe there's something in it...? i guess its just the warmth, maybe a hot water bottle or something similar...? i dunno, it just seems a bit of a waste to me to spend money on something like bruises, at least with a boiled egg you can eat it afterwards...
