Eight Natural Remedies to Speed Bruise Healing/ ADDITIONS

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for this great list!!

 

I have also been told when the bruise is on the arm or leg to elevate it - to

keep blood from gathering in that area.

 

Here is a couple for internal use as my child's plastic surgeon (she was injured

as a baby in an auto accident) use to have her take 60 mg of zinc and several

thousand units of vitamin C.  To take vitamin C - you can take it 1,000 mg

increments by up to 4,000 units.  If your stomach gives you problems drop it by

1,000 milligrams.  Upset stomach is to much vitamin C in your system.  You have

the right amount if you have no problems. 

 

We would start this 2 weeks before a surgery and keep it up for 6 weeks after. 

It really helped with the bruising.

 

 

I also do MCKS Pranic Heaing on my kids and self to help beat the lag time to

the physical body!

 

Blessings,

 

Rebecca

[CrystalHW] Eight Natural Remedies to Speed Bruise Healing

When you get a bruise, in addition to applying a cold compress (like

 

an icepack or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel) to the area for

 

about 20 minutes to reduce the swelling, you can also use natural

 

remedies to help speed up the healing.

 

 

 

Bear in mind that these are all for external use, so don't drink or

 

swallow these mixtures.

 

 

 

* Aloe Vera: Use the fresh juice from the fleshy inner part of the

 

leaf and apply. Aloe has many healing properties, such as preventing

 

infection, so you can apply it to minor skin irritations and small

 

wounds to speed up healing.

 

 

 

* Cabbage: For facial bruises, take the large outer leaves of

 

white cabbage, break the ridges of the leaves and dip them into very

 

hot water. Then apply to the bruise (but make sure they're not

 

scalding hot as you put them on your face).

 

 

 

* Calendula: To make a salve, boil one ounce of dried calendula

 

flowers or leaves (or 1/4 teaspoon of fresh juice from the herb) with

 

one ounce of lard. Once the mixture has cooled, apply it to the

 

bruise. This mixture is also good for sprains, pulled muscles, sores

 

and boils.

 

 

 

* Fenugreek: To make a poultice, put 1/2 ounce of crushed

 

fenugreek seeds in a small cloth bag and boil it in water for a few

 

minutes. Remove the bag and apply the " tea water " to the area. Make it

 

as hot as you can stand it (but make sure it's not scalding the skin).
