Treatment for bruises
If you have just given yourself a nasty knock, avoid getting an ugly-looking bruise with this simple remedy. Soak a sanitary towel in vinegar and place it directly over the bruise. Cover this with a piece of plastic and then a towel to keep it warm. Leave it to act for half an hour and replace it two or three times.
