Sometimes the cause of injury is our own carelessness.

However, it doesn’t matter how you got the bruise, the main thing is to relieve the pain and make sure that a bruise doesn’t form in that place.

A cold soda compress will help you with this.

To make it, you need to fold a piece of fabric in several layers, wet it in cold water and sprinkle it with soda.

Make sure the baking soda gets wet, then you can apply the compress to your leg or other affected part of the body.

Important: as the compress dries, it should be moistened with water. This can be done directly from the outside.

By the way, this method can even be used to “eliminate” an old bruise.

Patients who have tried it claim that when you bruise your nails, thanks to this soda compress you can even avoid the nail from "peeling off". Of course, folk methods of treatment should not contradict the doctor's recommendations.
