Well, the Day has been bright and Sunny and if your like myself, you have been just waiting to get OUT and enjoy that 60 degree weather. But, along with the wonderful weather come activity and yes that sometime bump, that may bruise. So, just for that unknown or known bruise I have a suggestion.
- Increase your daily intake of Vitamin C
- Try a bit of Aromatherapy. (suggested use to follow)
- Cold Compress can also at times help.
Both
Bruises and sprains are treated similarly with essential oils like
lavender and chamomile, or helichrysum in either an oil or alcohol base.
They help to reduce swelling and bruising while also helping to relieve
the pain.
Healing Bruises with Aromatherapy The Essential Oils
Aromatherapy makes the use of essential oils in healing bruises. Some of the essential oils used in healing bruises include:
- Lavender Essential Oil
- Thyme Essential Oil
- Helichrysum Essential Oil
- Yarrow Essential Oil
- Tea Tree Essential Oil
- Hyssop Essential Oil
Mix
a few drops of thyme essential oil with tea tree oil and dilute it
in olive oil (carrier oil). Apply it over the bruised area. This will
help in healing bruises. Also adding four drops of any of the
essential oils like lavender, helichrysum, yarrow or hyssop to cold
water compresses and applying to the bruises will help in healing.
