Bruise Control

Swollen Leg Bruise Treatment

"How difficult is it to avoid crashing into a bed in broad daylight? Apparently not all that difficult. At least that's what I told myself recently as my knee connected with the sharp edge of the bed frame with considerable force.

"Although unlikely, I actually thought the knee cap had been cracked, so severe was the pain and the wound in the skin. Searching for immediate relief, I remembered our packets of No Bruise!® in the first aide kit and applied one of the towelettes directly on the affected area for several minutes.

 

"The hoped for effect was immediate as the pain lessened dramatically. Within an hour, walking was very tolerable and by the next day only minimal residual discomfort, including the skin wound, was noticeable.

 

"Absolutely no bruising was visible!"

Skeptic Becomes NoBruise! Convert

To regular readers of this blog, you know that I'm a firm believer in the healing power of NoBruise!® A while back, a friend told me that the product just didn't work for her. I was dumb founded as I've never seen an instance where it DIDN'T work, even reducing soft tissue swelling.

So imagine my surprise upon receiving this unsolicited testimonial:

"This past week I was trying to get this large book case with doors on the bottom from my downstairs to the upstairs bathroom. I had to use the stairs outside and a dolly to do this, a little difficult I must say!

"Half way through I sat down to pray for help, as I didn't know if I could make it -- I was not quite half way up the stairs yet. I made it up and in the house but the book case came off the dolly on my foot.

"My foot wasn't broken but boy, did it hurt!

"I ran to get the NoBruise!® to try again differently (since it hadn't worked for me before.) I put the towelette on my foot (which was cut as well), and then wrapped it with packaging tape and left it for at least several hours.

"IT NEVER BRUISED !!!! NO SORENESS AND THE CUT HEALED REALLY FAST !!!!  I AM CONVINCED NOW !!!  IT WORKS AND WORKS GREAT !!!"

P.S. Don't try this at home. But DO stock up on NoBruise! to heal those unexpected bruises and cuts.

Backyard Bruises

NoBruise!® works great for me. Twice now I've had a chance to use it. Once I banged my shin really hard on the metal arm of an outdoor chair in my back yard. It hurt enough that I knew it would bruise pretty badly tomorrow (you can usually tell).

Then I remembered the box of NoBruise!® I had in the medicine cabinet. I tore open one packet and rubbed it all over the spot. Amazingly, the next day, there was no bruise to be seen! It was still a little tender, but not as much as it should have been. Three days later, still no bruise, and the tenderness was nearly gone.

I've used NoBruise!® on other occasions to prevent a bruise, and it seems to work every time - miraculously. Thanks for creating this amazing product. Knowing it has all-natural ingredients makes it even more desirable to my family and I.

Mosquito Bites | Natural Remedies

Most of us treat mosquito bites with commercial mosquito sprays, (cough! cough!) which do more to drive me into the house then prevent mosquito bites. I’ve tried herbal-based bug spray to little effect. (Although I do like the fragrance.)

There are two ways to look at mosquito bites: prevention and treatment.

Prevent Mosquito Bites – According to the Mayo Clinic, there are a few factors that place you at greater risk. Mosquitoes are more likely to bite

• Men
• Those with Type O blood
• Overweight individuals

Does that mean if you’re a fat guy you’re outta luck?! Not quite. Read on.

In my experience, I rarely remember to slather myself with mosquito repellent before the fact. I don’t think I’m alone on that score. So let’s move on to “treatments for mosquito bites.”

Treat Mosquito Bites – One way to treat mosquito bites is to avoid mosquitoes altogether. You can do this by eliminating sitting water anywhere in your yard, from old tires or wheelbarrows to standing water in plant containers or filling in low lying areas where water can pool.

Most of us are looking for itching relief, however. A customer wrote us recently to explain how she stopped the itching and swelling from mosquito bites:

“Having been born and brought up in a country that has no mosquitoes, I haven't much natural resistance to them. When I get "bitten" by them it itches like crazy for a number of days and often forms large white welts. I have tried many natural mosquito remedies before without much success.

"Last night my husband and I were sitting outside, and I didn't notice until it was too late that I had a cloud of mosquitoes around my feet and ankles. The itching began right away and I was going crazy trying not to scratch the bumps that had formed.

"My husband suggested that I try the NoBruise!®, which I did. As soon as I rubbed it on, the itching stopped right away and never came back. In fact I completely forgot about the bites until later in the evening when I was amazed to see that there were no white welts anywhere.

"Today there is no evidence of the bites at all. Love this stuff!"

Using NoBruise!® as a mosquito bite remedy never occurred to me, but it makes perfect sense that it would be a natural remedy for mosquito bites. I also like its distinctive, homeopathic fragrance.

Bruised Thumb Treatment | Bruised Thumb Relief

Image via Wikipedia

Now most people when wielding a power tool, bruise their thumb. I don't know why. Maybe it's because it's the largest digit on the hand. Maybe because it extends perpendicular to the hand which makes for an easy target.

Whatever the reason, the first instinct for relieving the pain of a bruised thumb is to stick it under cold, running water.

When we received the following testimonial, it didn't quite address the propensity for handymen everywhere to bruise the thumb.

But in the spirit of equality, we are giving the index finger the same attention and concern as we would a thumb. Our product works as a bruised thumb treatment as well as relieving the pain of any bruised finger. At NoBruise!®, we don't discriminate.

From Monique in Flagstaff, AZ:

"My husband was attaching an industrial-type electrical outlet box with a power drill. His index finger was behind the box. He made an unintentional move and the box slammed his finger. Finger gets smashed. He applies the NoBruise!® towelette to his finger.

A day later there is no evidence that his finger got smashed. There were no swollen bruises. It looked and felt normal!"

This is just one of the many experiences I have had with NoBruise!®

If you apply the towelette right away, it works like magic. Keep them close by! There are not many products around that work so rewardingly and shockingly evident. And what great gifts they make for anyone who can get bruises:  all your friends, family, kids, neighbors, doctors, masseuses, delivery persons, business relations... everyone!"

Feeling Bruised From Deep Tissue Massage?

I frequently receive massage and am amazed at how much bruising pressure has to be endured to heal a stressed body. It seems to me that a relaxing massage should be pain free. It's not until the masseuse digs into the deeper layers of tendon and muscle, however, that true healing can begin.

The day following my massage, I often feel bruised but there are no bruise marks on my skin. What feels like a bruise is the tender muscle healing. To avoid this aching feeling, I drop a No Bruise! towelette into a hot tub with Epsom salts. This natural, herbal remedy reduces any swelling immediately and, the next day, there's no bruised feeling.

That's why we called it No Bruise!

Bruised Thumb Pain Relief

We received the following unsolicited testimonial:

"I have a No Bruise story. My mom hit her thumb really hard with a hammer, so hard that she thought that her nail was going to fall off. She found a No Bruise packet that I had left there for her, and she decided to give it a try. First of all, she said that she loves the smell and that it seems to relax and calm her. She took the towelette and wrapped it around her thumb, where she was expecting an awful, unsightly bruise. With it wrapped securely, she fell asleep in front of the television for a few hours.  

"When she woke up, the redness and swelling had disappeared, but there was still a little bit of pain. The next morning, there was no pain, no swelling, no thumbnail falling off, and NO BRUISE. She was pleasantly shocked and surprised. One more satisfied customer." :-)

How to Get Rid of Bruises

Me No Bruise Big Toe*

No Bruise!® really works! I was hiding the vodka in the pantry from my son (Don't ask.) and, inadvertently, jostled the pantry-size box of eight cans of Amy's Organic Soup. Three cans of low-fat minestrone dropped onto my big toe.

It took a millisecond for my brain to register the bruising pain. I hollered mightily then ran for the box of NoBruise!® I keep in the bathroom.

Firstly, I thought my toe was broken. And, no matter how effective NoBruise!® is for preventing bruises fast, it cannot heal a broken toe.

I rubbed the moistened towelette on my toe and stepped into a hot bath. The throbbing pain ceased immediately. I was reserving judgment on the rest because the potential for bruising was great.

Oddly, the "toe incident" happened just after I returned from a Saturday morning massage. I'm beginning to wonder if there's some connection between massage and bruising because the last time I received a massage, I suffered from a painful bout of Morton's Neuroma. Hmmmmm.

I wrapped the towelette around my big toe, sweated for 20 minutes, toweled off and took a nap with my right foot elevated.

When I awoke, I checked out my toe. No bruising, no swelling, no ugly, black and blue toe nail. I even went for a long walk with my husband. Unfortunately, I wore new flip flops and developed blisters.

But, as far as I know, NoBruise!® can't help heal blisters. Oh well. You can't have everything. Go to www.StopBruises.com to order a supply.
