10 Home Remedies For Bruises
Home Remedy #6: Epsom Salt
Epsom salt, which is mainly composed of magnesium sulfate, also has several medicinal benefits including treating bruises. You will need Epsom salt and warm water.
Mix the Epsom salt with water at a rate of two tablespoons to one liter of water. Soak a ball of cotton with the mixture, squeeze out excess water, and then apply it onto the injured area. You can repeat the procedure every two to three hours until the pain subsides. The reason why Epsom salt works is that it is easily absorbed into the body through the skin. It helps to reduce inflammation and swelling, and relaxes muscles.
