7. Cuts, Scrapes and Burns
Cuts and burns can be really painful
unpleasant and might take a long time to heal.
Here are a few ways to help speed up the
healing process at home yourself.
Potatoes for burns: Immediately after you get
burned cut a raw potato in half and place it on the
burned area. The pain will be instantly relieved, and
the healing begins. This works because potatoes are
full of moisture which helps wick away the heat from
your skin. They help moisturize the traumatized area
this provides immediate relief, plus they contain
several vitamins that encourage quick healing.
7
Cayenne Pepper for cuts: Cayenne pepper is
incredibly high in capsaicin. It dulls the nerve
endings and sends messages to the brain to slow
down pain impulses, and it stop bleeding by clotting
the blood. You just sprinkle some ground cayenne
pepper on a bleeding open wound, then wrap a
bandage around it. Leave this bandage on for an
hour or two. The bleeding is stopped, and the pain is
dulled.
Honey for both: Honey is a great remedy for burns,
as it helps bring out the heat, lessening pain. It’s also
moisturizing, so it will encourage the skin to heal
faster. And for scrapes and minor lacerations, it’s a
highly effective antimicrobial, which reduces the
chances that cuts and scrapes will get infected. You
just slather it on and wrap a bandage. Make sure to
change the bandage every 4-6 hours until healed.
8. Heartburn
For those who have experienced it, we
know that nothing ruins a great meal
like heartburn.
Aloe: You should drink 1/2 cup before your
meals, but look for brands that say the laxative
component has been removed. Aloe vera juice
reduces inflammation, so it quiets down any
inflammation that is in the esophagus as well as
the stomach.
8
Baking soda: You need to mix between 1/2 and
1 teaspoon of baking soda with a glass of water.
Because it's a base, it helps neutralize
heartburn. But avoid making baking soda your
go-to remedy if you regularly have heartburn
because it’s high in salt and could cause side
effects like swelling and nausea.
Chewing gum: To eliminate heartburn you can
chew gum after a meal. Chewing gum
stimulates the salivary flow rate, Any acid that
gathers in the gut is washed away and cleared
more quickly. The clearance of acid stops
heartburn symptoms.

doesn’t really happen in the heart?
9. Bruises
Bruises happen when you hit your self hard, blood vessels near your skin's
surface break and blood leaks into the surrounding tissue. This causes a nasty
looking black-and-blue mark which will remove on its own with time, here are
some things you can do speed up the process.
Leech: You can apply a live leech, it will
remove the surface blood in a bruise in a
few seconds. The leech's saliva also acts as
a mild painkiller, so you won't feel the bite.
To remove it simply apply rubbing alcohol or
petroleum jelly. This is only recommended if
you can be sure that the leech is farm-raised
and free of disease.
9
Ice the area: By putting something cold on
the bruise it will reduce swelling and help it
heal more quickly. If you do this as soon as
possible, so that you can stop the bruise
from spreading so far. Wrap the ice bag in a
towel or T-shirt, and lay it over the bruise.
Rest: Its recommended to take the day off
both to prevent further injury and give your
bruise a chance to heal. Because working
your muscles increases blood flow to that
area.
