A nasty fall strikes without warning—whether to kids or adults.
The aftermath? A painful bruise on the leg, arm, or worse, the head.
Not typically serious, but no one wants it sticking around. Fortunately, generations have trusted this effective home remedy: an ice pack soaked in lemon juice. Here's how it works.

- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 sterile compress
1. Squeeze the lemon juice.
2. Soak a sterile compress in the lemon juice.
3. Place the compress in the freezer for 15 minutes.
4. Apply to the bruise for at least 5 minutes.
5. Repeat by returning the compress to the freezer.
Your bruise will fade as quickly as it appeared! :-)
For optimal results, apply right away. Overnight, you'll see major improvement—repeat several times daily.
This remedy excels on head bumps, forehead bruises, and all types of contusions.
