Homeopathic Remedy for Light Bruising
By Christina | June 29, 2009
I fell down a couple of stairs yesterday, wasn’t an awful fall, I mean I still went out and ran 9 miles an hour later but it did hurt, especially because I was carrying my daughter so I have no way to brace for the fall. I started to bruise fairly quickly and was told about a remedy to alleviate the severity of the bruising. I was also instructed not to complain, question, or otherwise utter my opinion about the cure.
The concoction was made up of butter and salt and was then applied to my back along the ribs and scapula. I also landed pretty hard on my rear end but thought I would not say anything lest I have a buttery salted backside (is it me or are you thinking popcorn too?) I can tell you the treatment worked. My back has no bruising however my butt is a lovely shade of purple. I decided to research if this was actually something other people have heard of and it turns out this is common amongst Puerto Ricans. I am sure there are other cultures who do this but the 5 or 6 blog sites I found on this topic ALL refer to Puerto Rican family as the source for this salve.
I can’t promise you anything but it doesn’t hurt so you might want to try it. My only word of advise - don’t go anywhere in the house that you don’t want peppered with salt!
