Butter for bumps

Butter is an amazing home remedy that works like a miracle on bumps.
TRY IT!

How does it work?

• When you bump your forehead on a hard surface the tissue around it gets irritated and starts releasing histamines into the surrounding area.

• Histamines in their turn break down the cell walls of your blood vessels (that are mainly made up of phospholipids) and cause the skin to bruise (bleed into the tissue).

• Fat in the butter is high in phosphate, the leading ingredient found in phospholipids.

• By applying butter immediately on the bump you sustain those phospholipids that keep your blood vessels from breaking down and therefore prevent bleeding into the tissue.

Pretty cool ha?

Now a cold pack that you all are so familiar with, helps to slow the release of histamines and reduce the chemical reaction brought on by it. But in the end it won’t stop the histamine forever. And that is the why behind the butter on the bruise.

P.S. using real butter is better than margarine but margarine will still work because it is fortified with phosphate.
