What is an easy method for getting rid of bruises?
Bruises are formed from pooled blood beneath the skin. When the bruise first appears as an injury, people use ice to reduce swelling and inflammation, but that is only for the first twenty-four hours. After that, heat is used to stimulate circulation and, thus, promote healing. This is common medical practice. Heat treatments should consist of hot water applied by either soaking the bruise, or, if it is not possible to submerge the bruised area, then apply a hot water compress to the area. The temperature of the water should be comfortably hot, never scalding.
