I'm intrigued. Nicholas Culpeper recommends tobacco as an expectorant, for kidney stones and "to expel windiness." Do you? As far as your other sources go I am particularly puzzled by your choice of the gardening site allotment.org.uk. Is there a peer-review process for gardening sites that I'm unaware of? I'm afraid AltMD doesn't get you any points either. They also credulously discuss Acupuncture, Aromatherapy and Homeopathy. It is veritably laundry list of quackery. In case you're interested, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons actually does offer some advice on contusions: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. Go ahead and cast a spell on me if you want.
