The Convenient Chipmunk: Bruises, our Nemesis

   So, has this ever happened to you?: You fall of the top of a 7 ft. tree and miraculously are unhurt, except for some bruises, or did you run into a sharp edge of a rock? Here are some cheap 100% natural remedies for you.

1. The Valuable Vegetable- That's right, the onion. A slice of yellow onion placed a fresh bruise for 15 minutes, it'll help stimulate lymphatic flow.

2. Bruise Juice- Chill. Then scavenge your fridge for some pineapple juice or pineapple. It contains bromelain, an enzyme to reduce swelling and redness.


3. Sprig Cleaning- Next time you see a purple/blue bruise, crush and chop some sprigs of parsley and apply. Within 24 hours, it'll drain out that color.

Now these remedies aren't immediate. But, they're much better than those "Bruise Away!" products, which are full of chemicals that'll ruin your skin and make it age faster. So go the natural way the convenient chipmunk is bringing you natural remedies for today! -Kyung Jin
