When you bruise yourself, you have essentially ruptured some blood vessels under the skin, which have then released their contents, causing swelling, tenderness and the discoloration that denotes a bruise in the first place. If you wish to quickly reduce the swelling and associated pain of a bruise, applying margarine can be a very effective measure. Although it sounds a bit odd, the rich blend of natural fats and organic acids found in margarine can quickly relieve inflammation of this type of injury, if it is allowed to sit on the surface of the bruise for 5-10 minutes.
