Yes - sometimes! When you have a very bad cold - add a raw egg, some pepper & slightly warm rum - take a quaff - you are cured!\nWhen you have small cuts, minor bruises etc pour some alcohol over it - it heals fast!\nStomach aches - a peg or two helps!\n\nBut I advise you to use this only in minor infections or ailments.

Unfortunately, bruising is a potential side effect of acupuncture, and your acupuncturist should have discussed that with you.  If you normally bruise easily or are taking blood thinners, then your chances for bruising from acupuncture will be greater.  When I perform acupuncture, I rarely create bruises.  Some practitioners are more gentle, and some feel that they need to be more vigorous.  \n\nYou can put a cube of ice over the bruise. Tell the therapist that you are getting a lot of bruising so that they can adjust their technique.  If the bruises are really bad, I would find a different therapist.  There is variation among practitioners in other fields, too.  I have been to rough and gentle dentists, chiropractors, etc.  Find someone you like.

I have found that good old Noxema, in the blue tub has amazing anesthesia effects.  Have used it on HSV outbreaks as well as the old 'roids, with very satisfactory results.  Was given that hint by another customer in a store.

Be careful taking so much Apirin each day..it is not just a pain reliever..it is also what is termed..anti-coagulant. It thins the blood and makes you suceptible to bleeding and easily bruising. My advice as a registered nurse is to go to your doctor and explain what has been going on. They can then order the appropriate blood work up and talk to you about the results and things to do regarding your health. Tell them about your familial history too, it is important. Stay safe and get cracking to the doctor ok..:)

Depends on the severity of the burn. For a mild burn use just Aloe. If it a rather serious burn, I suggest ibuprofen and that you place wet tea bags on the burn for at least 30 minutes. Rinse gently with leuk warm water and then glaze with aloe. Wear cool loose clothing and do NOT bandage the burn!!!

Aloe. Try a lotion that is mostly aloe. I had a really bad sunburn, REALLY bad from head to toe when I was 14, kept me up for like 2 days straight. Didn't get any relief until I put aloe all over my body. Instant relief and it went away and healed SO quick I was amazed. Buy an aloe plant too. They are good for when you get a burn on your finger or a cut, you can break the leave in half and inside it's full of pure aloe, and it's pretty cool. It has pretty cool healing powers.

Likas Papaya and Biolink works better. Use Magic Cream for dark pigmentations and scars. It really works.

The time it takes to heal any wound depends on several things. Good circulation to the area helps with healing. It brings nutrients and oxygen that are needed to heal. You can't let your blood sugar levels be too high. If someones blood sugar is too high then basically they may never heal the wound. Also make sure that you are getting enough protein in your diet. Protein is what your body uses to repair skin.\nYou may want to consider visiting a wound care clinic. We have one in our area. On certain patients they are able to put them in a bariatric chamber which saturates the body with oxygen to promote healing. Hope this helps!

You can't remove a hickey, which is actually a bruise...only time can make it go away.  A bruise is blood that has leaked into the tissues and it has to be absorbed.  Now you can speed the absorption buy applying some heat a few times a day but, in the end, it will require time.\n\nYou can cover it with a makeup called dermablend which is designed to cover birthmarks.  It is pricey but hides even the most severe of birthmarks (port wine stain) so will easily cover a bruise.

i found this article.. hope this can help:\n\nTreating a sunburn quickly and with healing ingredients is important to help reduce the damage and to protect against further damage. \n\nHealing Sunburn Treatments \n\nAloe Vera Gel \nFor sunburn there is nothing better than aloe vera gel; it is antibacterial and deeply healing for burns in part because of aloectin B, which stimulates the immune system. Aloe vera gel is used in hospitals for burn victims. Aloe Vera comes from the aloe vera plant, and the gel may be squeezed from its leaves, or you can buy pure aloe vera gel as a product in most health food stores. \n\nVitamin E Cream\nOne of the antioxidants, vitamin E creams, ointments and oils, can help heal sunburn damage and shorten its effects. \n\nIncrease Your Vitamin C \nAnother antioxidant, increasing your vitamin C intake while sunburned will help you heal. \n\nBlack Tea Sunburn Soother \nThe tannins in cool black tea will help sooth a sunburn. \n\nBaking Soda Bath\nHave a cool bath to which 1/2 a cup of baking soda has been added. \n\nCalendula Creams\nCalendula is one of the most healing plants. The flowers are emollient, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antiviral. They are immune system stimulants and rich in carotenoids. Look in your health food store for calendula creams and ointments. \n\nAvoid Petroleum jelly, as it will hold in the heat. \n\n..and oh, drink lots of water!

I would recommend Arnica.\nIts a salve used for bruising and sprains which has anti-inflammatory properties. You should be able to pick it up at health food shops or some pharmacies.

It can be, I would alternate between rubbing some Abreva on it and plain old neosporin.  Keep the area clean but moist, dryness will make it crack and start to bleed more.  You poor thing!  I feel so bad for you.  They really hurt don't they!  Take it easy and I hope this helps and that you heal and feel better soon!

I use an australian plant named "radium", the other name is milkweed. It works wonders, you put it on the skin lesion twice a day for a week, and it should be completely removed. It may sting a little at times, but you'll be glad for the removal, and it leaves the area very clean (as long as you do it until the lesion falls off. :)

I have an elderberry solution I'd gotten at the health store. Not a whole lot of scientific evidence behind this stuff, but it seems to help. (Sambucol imune syrup).

Noxema works great! Feels good on a sunburn, and heals it quickly! ...Don't rub it in, just lather it on and let the skin soak it up.
