Some cuts require stitches and bandages, while others just need home remedies. Truthfully, the latter is more common than the former. That’s because we are just more prone to minor scrapes, scratches, and splinters in our everyday lives. We don’t need to rush to the doctor when we bleed and when these injuries are minor, you can simply wait it out and see let these wounds heal on their own. If you want to speed up the healing process, use Vicks VapoRub. It works the same way for bumps and bruises.
