Do you have a bruise? Why not put an egg on your bruise. Did you know an egg can suck out the bruise? Sounds crazy, right?! This is a remedy used and perfected in Korea. Why not try it…
- Boil an egg until it’s hard, the yolk shouldn’t be runny.
- Crack the egg open, slice it and remove the yolk.
- Wrap the egg along with a silver ring in a light handkerchief or napkin. Do this quickly so the egg is still warm, a cold egg will not help
- Apply the cloth covered egg to the bruise and rub until the egg has cooled. Do this a few times a day until the bruise is gone.
