10 Home Remedies For Bruises
Home Remedy #4: Bromelain
Bromelain is a medicinally beneficial enzyme that is present in large quantities in pineapples. It has anti-inflammatory properties and is an effective home remedy for bruises, colds, and other ailments.
For bruises, bromelain reduces inflammation and swelling which are necessary for healing. These fruits are also rich in vitamin C. A study by the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery showed that, compared to painkillers and placebo, oral Bromelain helps to reduce swelling and pain after tooth extraction. Eating lots of pineapple can help with your bruises. You can also apply a cream containing bromelain topically, two to three times daily until the bruise heals. Note, however, that oral bromelain supplements may have some side effects such as increased heart rate and digestive issues.
