The next time one of your family
members gets a scrape or bruise, consider bromelain. This enzyme, extracted
from the stem of the pineapple, is a great natural remedy for swelling, pain
and bruising after a minor injury. Look for capsules of standardized extracts,
and take on an empty stomach - at least 90 minutes before eating or three hours
after. The adult dose is 200-400 mg three times per day and children can take
half this amount. Be aware that bromelain can cause an allergic reaction in
some individuals; discontinue use if you develop hives, rash or itching.
