Smashed / Jammed nails turning blue due to blood clotting
Sometimes you have your nails smashed or jammed and they turn blue / black because of blood clotting. Normally, after a few weeks they get separated from the nail beds and fall off. It is possible to avoid this. As soon as possible (within 10 minutes of the injury) apply a few drops of Agni oil on and around the affected nail(s) and gently rub it in. Repeat, if necessary after about an hour or so. Do not ice or put ice packs. The blood clots on the nail will slowly dissipate and you will get relief from pain as well. The nail will get saved. One can administer the above for body areas which are injured after a fall.
Make a thick paste of Mysteribath Herbomineral with water and apply it on the area and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Wash with water and repeat if required. For better results put a bandage over the paste and leave it on for 30-40 minutes. For children, use Tarika Face Wash to relieve redness of insect bites.
Make a thin paste of Mysteribath Herbomineral with water and apply it on the nick / cut and leave it to dry. Repeat twice a day. If the cut is due to grazing against a hard surface, first wash and clean the cut with a disinfecting spray / liquid.

Take a pinch of Tarika Face Wash and rub it gently on the wet face immediately after shaving. Wash with water after about a minute. This makes the skin soft and free from irritations. No need for aftershaves.
Joint sprains, muscle pull, workplace injury
For any joint sprain, muscle or ligament pull or stretch, immediately rub a few drops of Agni Massage oil gently on and around the injured area, till it gets absorbed.
