I hurt my finger today, and heard that it feels better when you soak it in cider!


Question: I hurt my finger today, and heard that it feels better when you soak it in cider, is this true!?
Answers:
I would suggest keeping it tightly wrapped!. You might need this attention all night, but if you wiggle it around frequently, it will feel better sooner!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Define "hurt" (cut, abrasion, bruise, crush, burn) as the treatment for each injury will be slightly different!. However, cider has no magical healing properties!. The alcohol in it is of course a bit antiseptic if you have an open wound, but cleaning with soap and water is all you need to do!.

Seems like a waste of perfectly good cider!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Clean the wound thoroughly first!. Perhaps the cider works like hydrogen peroxide!. It may sting and fizz but I don't think it would hurt!.

If you have access to a fresh, real aloe vera plant, cut off a piece and rub the fluid into the wound!. Repeat every couple of hours, but keep the finger as still as possible!.

This not only promotes healing, but avoids excessive scarring!. Aloe truly is one of nature's miracles!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have actually tried this a few times, it does feel good but it often produces additional swelling!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
