Health Benefits and Uses of Apple Cider Vinegar

13. Fades bruises

When you get hurt, blood pools under the skin at the site of the trauma and causes a bruise. ACV has anti-inflammatory properties and may increase blood flow to the injury, breaking up blood clots and healing the bruise faster. Apply an ACV solution as a compress or soak a cotton pad with it and keep it on your skin for an hour with the aid of a bandage. You could even use it undiluted on a small bruise if you don't have sensitive skin or make a topical paste with petroleum jelly. You should notice an improvement within three days.
