[Herbalist] Need Suggestions

[stephanie imnotelling]

This is great!  I'm a fencer too and can certainly use anti-bruise remedies! 
  I've heard that medicated vaseline is great for helping with bruises (I 
just can't find it).  So whenever you fine people find the recipe please 
post it for we're waiting on tender hooks!  Thanks so much!
