Is menthol good for bruises?

Menthol can provide a cooling sensation that may help relieve pain and discomfort associated with bruises, but it doesn't directly heal the bruise itself. It can help reduce swelling and improve circulation in the area, which might aid in recovery. However, it's important to use it cautiously and not on broken skin. For serious bruises or if pain persists, consulting a healthcare professional is recommended.
