A member asked:
I was curious if butter and salt really helps take out bruises?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruise: Unsure of this. For the first 24 hours, i would ice the effected area to minimize the spread of the bruise. After 48 hours, heat may be applied to allow the blood to disperse about the body. The amount of time it takes to heal is highly variable from person to person.
