Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I do think that eating fresh organic pineapple is much better than taking the bromelain supplements but if you cannot get it then they would be fine. 03.27.2003 Tip: Remedy of the Week: Bye-Bye to Bruises When you get a bruise, the first thing to do is to ice it -- immediately. This reduces the amount of swelling. It's also possible to speed up the healing process by taking the pineapple enzyme, bromelain (available in capsule form wherever supplements are sold). The enzyme is absorbed through the digestive tract and promotes healing of tissue injuries. Take 200 to 400 milligrams three times a day on an empty stomach (not within two hours of eating). A few individuals have allergic reactions to bromelain; discontinue if you get an itching sensation. Homeopathic arnica can also help the body recover faster from trauma. Buy Arnica montana in 30x potency, and let the tablets dissolve under your tongue. (Do not handle them. Shake them into the bottle cap and then toss them into your mouth.) Take four tablets immediately, then four every hour while awake the first day. The second day, cut back to four tablets every two hours; then four tablets four times a day. Continue the treatment four to five days. You may also want to rub some arnica tincture on the bruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 This is good to know! What about scratches? I get scratches all over me, too, from my daughter's outbursts since she is bipolar and can get violent. I am trying to keep them from scarring, but arnica is all I know to use. Thanks, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Calendula is a good homeopathic remedy to consider... There is more I can say but am afraid it will go off topic, so write me personally and we can go from there...
