Q. I started volleyball a few days ago, and we've been doing a lot of bumping. On the inside of my wrist, I have a bruise running down the middle from volleyball. It's right on the vein. What can I do to help get rid of it?
Thanks!

A. * Vitamin K. Take Vitamin K or alfalfa in tablets helps blood clotting.
* Vitamin C. Take Vitamin C to prevent bruising by thickening the walls of blood vessels.
* Vitamin E. Vitamin E works synergistically with vitamin C to repair tissues.
* Zinc. Zinc is helpful in maintaining healthy connective tissue, and a deficiency can lead to bruising. Take 50-100 mg daily. However, don't take doses this high for more than a week or two without medical supervision, as it may interfere with absorption of other important minerals, especially copper.
* Mustard. Make a poultice of mustard and apply to the bruise. It will draw the blood away from the bruise. Combine 2 parts of ground mustard seed with one part set honey and one part finely chopped onion. Apply to the bruised area and cover with a bandage. This will relieve the bruise and swelling.
* Onions. Make a poultice of roasted onions and apply to the bruise.Cut an onion, dip it in apple cider vinegar and rub on the bruise as soon after it occurs as possible to prevent black and blue marks.

A. Tru Karma seems a bit too hasty... I don't think she even knows what Iron deficiency is. When you get Iron deficiency you'll exemplify a bluish tint under your eyes, not dark black circles. Black circles under the eyes can be inherited...
Anyways... Here are some treatments that I found. I wouldn't recommend cream. Foreign goop is never good to apply to your skin, which is so delicate and absorbent.
1. Be sure to drink enough water. Hydration Calculator: How much water do you need?
2. Wear sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 under the eyes to prevent skin weakening caused by sun damage.
3. Get plenty of rest.
4. Apply plain cool teabags over closed eyes. Don�t use herbal teabags, because most aren't as effective.
5. Apply cool cucumber slices over closed eyes for 15 minutes.
6. Be careful not to consume too much dietary salt. Start by learning about sources of sodium in the diet.
7. Apply vitamin K cream. Although studies haven't looked at the use of topical vitamin K for dark circles under the eyes, preliminary studies have found that vitamin K may help with bruising.
8. Vitamin C helps to strengthen blood vessel walls.
9. The dietary supplements grape seed extract and pycnogenol contain antioxidant pigments that may help to strengthen blood vessels. They should be used under medical supervision by people on "blood-thinning" drugs such as Coumadin (warfarin) and aspirin.
Certain foods, such as cranberries, blueberries, bilberries, tea (green and black), black currant, onions, legumes, and parsley also contain these antioxidant pigments.
10. Eat kidney-balancing foods. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a bluish cast under the eyes are due to an imbalance in kidney energy.

Whats the best eye cream for wrinkles and black circles?
Q. i'm only 20 and my eyes are this way because of the make-up and so, should i even start using the wrinkles cream now?

A. Vitamin K cream or FADE OUT from Boots is great for Dark Circles, I don't think you need to start using wrinkle cream, you just need to moisturise. Premature ageing can be accelerated by omega 3 deficiency, smoking, drinking and other health conditions so this is something to consider if you are feeling unwell and are sure you're looking older for your age. Get plenty of sleep and another thing to consider ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO YOUR MAKEUP? Try a different brand for sensitive skin.
