Did you close a door or a drawer on your finger? Ouch! We feel your pain. What you need is relief fast, so if someone nearby is shouting, “What can I do to help?”— this is what he or she can do…
Prepare a poultice of grated onion and salt—grate half a small onion, and add about a tablespoon of salt, and mix. Apply the mixture to the bruised area. The pain will diminish quickly. Leave the poultice on for an hour or more to help reduce the swelling. (Since the onion mix is wet and mushy, wrap it and your wounded part with plastic wrap.)
