10 Home Remedies For Bruises
Home Remedy #1: Ice
Ice can be a good remedy for bruises. What you need to do immediately when you get a bruise, is to put some ice on it to stem increase in blood flow to the site. By reducing blood flow to the bruised area, ice can help reduce leakage of blood or bleeding. This will reduce inflammation and to some extent, prevent swelling.
A reusable ice pack can be convenient in this case, or a bag of ice, frozen vegetables wrapped in a bag, a towel, or a piece of cloth. Place the ice on the bruised area for about ten minutes, remove it, and wait for twenty minutes before reapplying it. Repeat this process several times to soothe the bruise and initiate healing.
