3 STEP METHOD TO HEAL BRUISES FASTER

There’s no way to avoid bruises except to wear padding over your entire body. Sure, you can try not to be as clumsy, but there will always be malicious chairs, stools, desks and other inanimate objects lurking in darkened rooms, just waiting for a tender ankle or shin. The best way to deal with bruises is to try to shrink and heal them. Here’s how:

1) Apply a cold compress— this is the first thing you should do whenever you sustain an injury which might lead to a bruise. Use an ice pack on the injured area at 15 minute intervals. This will constrict the blood vessels, and may help minimize the swelling and reduce the pain.

2) After cold, try heat— wait about 24 hours before you begin applying heat to dilate the blood vessels and improve circulation in the injured area.

3) Get more vitamin C – some studies show that people who are deficient in vitamin Care more prone to bruising than those people who get an adequate amount of the vitamin. Before you take any vitamin C supplements, consult your doctor.
