8. St. John's Wort

St. John's wort oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can help a bruise heal and take the edge off the pain. Apply the oil to the bruised area several times a day until it fades. You can also make a tea by steeping two tablespoons of dried St. John's wort in a cup of hot water for 20 minutes. If you take any medications — particularly for anxiety — check for interactions first, as this herb can interfere with several common drugs.
