Hello dear friends!

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you!

Our winter brings surprises in the form of thaws and, on the contrary, severe frosts. There is heavy ice on the roads. A month ago, going to work in the morning, I fell, slipped, and received a severe bruise on my leg. Cured, of course, mainly folk remedies, namely the silver bridge.

Now I will tell you in more detail my history of treating bruises with folk remedies, what helped me and what didn’t, and I will also remind you what to do after a bruise, what folk remedies for bruises and bruises exist.

Treatment of a severe leg injury in an adult with folk remedies

Unfortunately, I did not take the first measures after my fall, as I spent the whole day at work, and there was no particular pain.

And in the evening I discovered a huge hematoma.

The first tool that I thought of was food foil. I was just too lazy to make a silver bridge right away. I just put a piece of foil on my leg.

The ointment "Bodyaga" turned out to be at home, she began to use it. In addition, I tried to make saline compresses and a compress from the tincture of the golden mustache.

But the fact is that a very uncomfortable place was bruised - the upper part of the thigh, on which no bandages were held, all the more so it was necessary to go to work and the leg injury was very strong.

That's when I already made a silver bridge for 3 days. And oh, miracle! I didn't even expect the bruise to disappear so quickly. But since the band-aid peeled off a little anyway, only in this place, not covered with foil, there was still blue.

The silver bridge is thin strips (1 cm wide) of foil glued to a band-aid at a distance of about 0.5 cm from each other.

After the second procedure, there was no hematoma at all. So I strongly advise you to use it in the treatment of a severe bruise.

And now let's figure out in detail what to do with a bruise and how you can treat it with folk remedies.

What is an injury

Bruises are soft tissue injuries resulting from a fall or impact, they vary in severity from mild, which we sometimes do not even pay attention to, to severe, accompanied by wounds and abrasions, and even damage to nerves and bones.

In severe cases, of course, you should definitely seek medical help.

But even with a slight and moderate bruise, the resulting bruise (hematoma) must be treated. After all, with a bruise, internal hemorrhage occurs, the released blood accumulates in tissues or vessels. If the hematoma is not treated, it can lead to all sorts of complications, diseases of the internal organs.

It has long been known that a harmless bruise and a small bruise can even develop cancer in a few months.

What to do in case of injury

Remember the three rules of first aid for a bruise.

First rule. It is necessary to provide rest to the damaged organ. Do not move your arm or leg, then the pain will be less. It is recommended to make a bandage, apply a medical elastic bandage.

Second rule. Cold should be applied to the site of injury as soon as possible.

It can be ice, snow, cold water, any cold object, even a coin. from bruises have been used since ancient times by our grandmothers and great-grandmothers.

I often, for some reason, come across an iron at home. His cold metal sole helped more than once.

With a bruise under the eye, you can attach a spoon.

Ice can be scraped off the walls of the refrigerator, you can get a pack of dumplings or something else from the refrigerator. Another option is to fill a heating pad with cold water.

Cold is applied in the first 24 hours after the bruise. The sooner the better, because the cold constricts blood vessels and prevents bruising, stops the growth of edema and prevents secondary damage to soft tissues.

But it also needs to be used correctly. In order not to injure the skin, the ice must be wrapped in a cloth and only used in this form.

You can apply cold for no more than 10-15 minutes to avoid hypothermia and frostbite of tissues. Then you should take a break of 2-3 hours and apply again.

Rule Three. The bruised arm, leg or finger must be lifted up so that the edema does not increase and there is an outflow of blood so that the damaged segment feels better.

At night, make an iodine mesh, it will have an anti-inflammatory and healing effect, improve blood circulation.

In a day after removing the swelling, the damaged organs already need heat, you can heat ordinary table salt in a frying pan, then pour it into a linen bag, but just a cotton sock will do, and apply it to the sore spot for 10-15 minutes. Warming up can be done 2-3 times a day.

You can, of course, buy an ointment for bruises, or at least bodyagi powder.

Bodyaga is perhaps the best remedy for bruises and bruises, it is produced specifically for these purposes.

If you have bodyagi powder at hand, you need to dilute it with water so that you get a creamy slurry and apply it to the site of the bruise in the form of a compress for an hour.

There is also an ointment for bruises and hematomas based on bodyagi. If you use it immediately after a bruise, then the appearance of a bruise can be avoided, and if it does, you can get rid of it pretty quickly. The ointment is called “Bodyaga”.

Here is a list of popular ointments:

Ointments for bruises

• troxevasin - has a resolving effect and strengthens the walls of blood vessels
• heparin ointment - relieves inflammation, swelling, as well as pain, promotes rapid resorption of the bruise
• bruise-off - also helps to relieve inflammation and swelling, and also has a masking effect like a foundation
• lyoton - prevents the development of inflammation, strengthens the vascular walls
• and also this list can be replenished with Vishnevsky's ointment, "Arnika", "Rescuer" and others.

Ointments should be applied as directed, usually several times a day.

But you still need to go to the pharmacy for them, and we love to be treated with what we have at home.

So, let's continue the treatment of bruises with folk remedies.

Folk remedies for the treatment of bruises

Folk remedies for bruises and bruises can be found even in our kitchen, and herbs can be used.

In general, of course, there are a lot of remedies for bruises.

While preparing the material and studying what they write on the Internet, I even laughed enough. There are such tips that you need to cook something for a long time, insist and languish in a Russian oven, and also smear the bruised place with viper fat!

I picked up only the most affordable and simple ways to treat bruises with folk remedies, proven and effective.

After all, everyone chooses his own, which he likes from what is at hand, and depending on the situation and the place of the injury.

Remedies for bruises and bruises from our kitchen

Salt

If you are wondering how to treat a bruise, choose regular salt. we already know. This is also the case when a salt compress will help cure almost any bruise. To prepare it, dissolve a tablespoon of salt in a liter of warm boiled water and soak a piece of cotton or linen fabric in this solution. We cover the wet cloth applied to the bruise with polyethylene and wrap it with a warm scarf. We leave this compress all night.

Potato

We clean it and three on a coarse grater. We put the resulting mass on a linen cloth or on gauze folded four times and apply to the bruise. We fix it with something - a bandage, a scarf, a scarf.

Let it sit until the potatoes dry, about 30 minutes. Then we make a new compress. After the third or fourth procedure, the pain will subside significantly.

You can also use potato starch. Dilute it with water until a slurry is obtained and make a compress, covering with cellophane and securing with a bandage.

Cabbage for bruises

White cabbage is also suitable, but if you like red cabbage and you have it at home, then this vegetable is three times better, since it contains three times more nutrients than white cabbage.

We tear off a leaf from the cabbage and knead it well in our hands until the juice is released.

Apply to the sore spot, fix with a bandage.

All such compresses from natural home products are placed in the same way: until the mass dries, 2-3 times a day.

Onion

The onion must be peeled and finely chopped with a knife or grated on a fine grater, add one teaspoon of salt. Place the gruel in a gauze bag and make compresses. Each time you need to prepare a fresh compress.

Garlic

Compresses from bruises can also be made from chopped garlic.

Horseradish and radish

The bruise will quickly disappear if you make compresses from horseradish or radish grated again on a fine grater.

Beets and honey

Useful properties of beets are also useful for the treatment of bruises and bruises. Grate the beets, add a tablespoon of honey to it and you get a wonderful compress. Only this method can be used in the absence of an allergy to honey.

Beans

Mash the boiled white beans well and make a compress from them.

Pineapple and banana

From bruises and bruises, even exotic fruits help. Pineapples and bananas contain enzymes that promote the rapid resolution of bruises. Attach the banana peel with the inside to the bruise, and with a piece of pineapple, you can simply wipe the bruised area.

Laundry soap

Although this is no longer an edible remedy, it is also in our kitchen, well, or in the bathroom. Soap is an excellent folk remedy for bruises, which will help relieve pain.

It must be grated and mixed with egg yolk. Make a compress from this gruel. Change every half hour.

You can use soap in another way: rub it on a damp cloth and apply it to the site of injury.

Apple vinegar

I mainly use it. And for the treatment of bruises, dilute 2 teaspoons of vinegar in a liter of water, moisten a cloth in it and apply compresses. Enough to keep half an hour. In a few days you will forget about your illness.

Treatment of bruises with medicinal herbs

There are a lot of medicinal herbs that can be used to treat bruises.

Tinctures of calendula and golden mustache

It is most effective to use herbs in the form of compresses from their alcohol tinctures. But there is one nuance here, that it still takes time to prepare these tinctures. And we can't wait a few days. Therefore, it would be good to always keep at least a tincture of calendula or a golden mustache in the house, just in case.

You could make calendula tincture yourself in the summer, but it is also sold in pharmacies. We use it for bruises in the form of compresses or lotions.

And I always have a jar of golden mustache tincture. I advise everyone to grow this plant, we will talk about its beneficial properties later.

Decoctions of dried herbs

Fortunately, not only tinctures, but also decoctions of dried herbs can be used for bruises. It can be coltsfoot, chamomile, celandine. It will be better if they are mixed together. Pour a teaspoon of herbs with half a glass of boiling water, boil for 10 minutes in a water bath, insist and cool for an hour, and then strain and use for lotions.

fresh plant leaves

In summer, you can pick a leaf of plantain, or burdock, or wormwood. Finely chop the leaf, squeeze out the juice and apply to the sore spot as well as a cabbage compress.

You can simply wipe the bruised area with the juice of these plants.

At home, you can use a ficus leaf or aloe, which also have absorbable and healing properties. Juice from a ficus leaf with a cotton swab is applied to the bruise for 1 minute, and a cut piece of aloe leaf is fixed on a small bruise with adhesive tape.

All these described folk remedies help with bruises of the arms and legs, as well as other parts of the body.

How to treat bruises with one means or another, we figured it out. I will briefly dwell on some individual points and features.

How to treat a bruised finger with folk remedies

If the fingers are bruised, bruising under the nails and painful sensations can become unpleasant consequences, you can even lose the nail.

Therefore, if your finger is bruised, immediately use ice or pour cold water on your finger. You can dip your hands in salted water for 10-15 minutes.

Then dry your hands and make a tight bandage. Change it periodically until complete healing.

In order to prevent blackening of the nail, you can make an iodine mesh or completely lubricate your finger with iodine.

And also turmeric ointment helps well: mix turmeric powder with a small amount of water to a pulp state and lubricate your finger with this mixture. Thanks to its antibacterial and healing properties, turmeric will help with rapid recovery and healing.

Treatment of bruises with folk remedies on the knee

A knee injury is serious business. If the knee is swollen, tissue dysfunction is possible, inflammation is formed, which is fraught with the development of arthritis, inflammation of the meniscus and other unpleasant consequences.

First of all, with a knee injury, you need to apply a cold compress, ensure the immobility of the joint, while the leg should be in an elevated state. And then you should go to the doctor, take pictures and make sure that there are no fractures.

If there is no severe damage, you can try to treat the knee at home with folk remedies.

You can do all the same compresses described above, from cabbage leaves, for example, or a vinegar compress by mixing a tablespoon of vinegar, vegetable oil and water.

A week after the removal of edema, more physiotherapy procedures are indicated.

Somehow I had such a case when I hit my knee hard on the corner of the table. At first, I did not attach much importance to what happened. But then the pain in the knee periodically arose and bothered me for a long time, until I took the treatment seriously.

For a month, she made compresses from the tincture of a golden mustache at night and at the same time treated her knee with Almag.

The pain is gone forever. I don’t know what played the leading role here, I think both procedures in combination helped.

Bruised tailbone: treatment with folk remedies

It is also a very unpleasant and painful condition. Pain with a coccyx bruise can occur both when walking and when sitting, give to the legs and cases of spinal cord injury are not uncommon. So it is better not to postpone the visit to the doctor.

With a slight bruise and the appearance of a hematoma, we use ice and compresses from the juice of wormwood or onions.

Folk remedies for head injury

Again, with a minor bruise, if you are sure that there is no concussion and other complications, we apply cold first of all.

After a day, the bump can be slightly warmed up with salt in a bag.

Also use cabbage leaves or thyme leaf as a folk remedy.

Folk remedies for bruised chest

The delicate skin of the chest is in great need of careful and gentle care.

Be sure to see your doctor to make sure there are no complications.

In case of bruising of the cornea, immediately see an ophthalmologist!

Conclusion. We examined the treatment of bruises with folk remedies of mild and moderate severity. Folk remedies for severe bruises, in principle, can be used the same, but in addition to the treatment prescribed by the doctor.

Which of them is the best remedy for bruises, it is difficult to say. All of them are good, they differ only in the duration of exposure, their use depends on the size of the hematoma, the degree of injury and the location. In some cases, it is more convenient to use one tool, in others - another.

I was helped at different times by a salt compress, and a compress from a golden mustache, and most of all I liked the silver bridge. It is easy to use and very fast.

Bruises are the most common injuries that occur at the moment of a sudden blow or fall. No one is immune from their occurrence, so it is important to know how to act at the time of injury and how to treat it. Folk remedies for bruises have been tested for years, have good healing and analgesic properties, in addition, they are able to prevent subsequent complications from the bruise.

What is an injury

Bruises are closed injuries of the soft tissues of the human body resulting from direct impact of an object (for example, hitting a ball or stone) or hitting the body against an object (for example, when falling on a ladder). Symptoms are manifested in the form of a sharp pain at the time of injury, which subsides over time and occurs only with direct contact with the area of ​​injury or movement of the patient, hematomas and swelling appear.

Bruises are of varying degrees of complexity. In cases of complex bruises, there are concomitant complications in the form of bone fractures, cracks, damage to the skin, significant hemorrhages in the tissue. Such injuries require mandatory inpatient monitoring and treatment. If the bruise is not complicated, then for its treatment at home, you can use traditional medicine recipes.

The steps for providing first aid to an injured person are as follows:

• immobilize the affected part of the body, limit the movement of the patient;
• if necessary, give painkillers;
• apply a cold compress to the site of injury using ice or products in packaging from the freezer;
• if a leg or arm is injured, you can make a fixing bandage from elastic bandages.

A cold compress should be applied periodically on the first day after the injury, each time for 15-20 minutes, and until visible improvements are obtained. The compress constricts blood vessels, helps relieve swelling and anesthetize the injury site. On the first day, it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol, massage the damaged area and make warm lotions. All this contributes to the expansion of blood vessels, an increase in swelling and hematomas.

On the second day, in order to restore blood circulation in the area of ​​the bruise, the victim can be given warm compresses, light massage and exercise. Also, an important element of subsequent treatment is the use of various ointments and compresses, including the use of traditional medicine recipes.

ethnoscience

A folk remedy for bruises can begin to be applied about a day after the injury. The timely use of folk remedies for bruises and sprains allows you to quickly remove the symptoms of injury, such as pain, swelling and bruising. You can get rid of a bruise with the help of compresses, lotions and ointments prepared according to folk recipes.

In folk medicine, plantain has been used since ancient times as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent that promotes the rapid restoration of damaged tissues. For treatment, you can use whole or chopped leaves, as well as fresh plantain juice or pharmacy tincture. The leaves are applied to the bruised area, the juice is applied in the form of lotions. In the summer, an ointment is made from fresh plantain:

1. wash fresh plantain leaves and pass through a meat grinder;
2. mix the resulting mass with vegetable, butter or unsalted melted fat.

In winter, dried plantain leaves are used to make the ointment:

1. dried leaves are crushed into powder or poured with boiling water and rubbed;
2. the prepared mass is well mixed with fat in the ratio: 1 part of the mass of plantain to 7 parts of fat.

Before going to bed, the patient can apply an iodine mesh to the bruised area, which relieves inflammation and improves blood circulation.

Pain is eliminated by cold lotions and compresses. The most effective are vinegar compresses, which must be done within a few days 3-4 times for 20 minutes. This time is enough for the bruise to no longer bother. For these purposes, you can use 2 tablespoons of ordinary or apple cider vinegar per 1 liter of water. The cloth soaked in the prepared solution is applied to the bruised area.

1. The leaves of any kind of wormwood are cut and dried, or ready-made pharmaceutical grass is purchased.
2. Dry leaves are ground to a powder in a coffee grinder.
3. 200 grams of pork internal fat and 20 grams of wormwood powder are mixed. The mixture must be darkened in the oven for 45 minutes.
4. The finished ointment is poured into a container and stored in the refrigerator, used as needed.

In practice, green leaves of plants are widely used to treat bruises. In summer, for these purposes, you can use fresh leaves of plantain, burdock, wormwood, cabbage. The leaves should be collected, washed, dried, kneaded and applied to the injury site. You can also squeeze the juice from the leaves and wipe the area of ​​injury. If it is not possible to collect leaves on the street, then home plants such as ficus or aloe can be used for treatment. Juice from a homemade ficus or aloe leaf is squeezed out, a cotton swab is blotted with it and fixed with a plaster to the site of injury. Can be used for resorption of small hematomas.

For supporters of traditional medicine, it is interesting to read about.

No one is immune from soft tissue injuries. It is impossible to predict when you can stumble, hit a corner or drop a heavy object on your foot. Athletes, tourists, fans of an active lifestyle often encounter bruises, bruises on various parts of the body. The number of falls into ice is in the thousands.

Despite the fact that the problem of hematomas, bruises, swelling after a blow is familiar to most people, not everyone knows the rules of first aid and further treatment of bruises. Fill the gap, learn the rules for treating bruises and bumps. Then you do not have to suffer from unbearable pain, for a long time "show off" with blue or yellow-green spots.

Some useful information

What happens with bruises:

• damaged skin, muscle tissue, subcutaneous fatty tissue;
• bone tissue in most cases remains intact;
• vessels, capillaries are often injured;
• after local hemorrhage, the site of the bruise swells up, soreness is felt;
• the stronger the blow, the greater the area of ​​subcutaneous hemorrhage;
• not finding a way out, the blood spreads to neighboring tissues - a hematoma is formed;
• the penetration of blood into the cavities located near the site of injury causes hemarthrosis. Joints are affected;
• the color of the bruise changes from red to purple, sometimes almost black. Further, the bruised place becomes green, then - yellow-green;
• the shade will help determine the statute of limitations of the bruise.

Note! Unbearable pain can mean bone damage. Be sure to visit a traumatologist, take an x-ray. Local remedies will only slightly relieve soreness, but a late appeal for medical help will drive the problem deeper. Consequences - suppuration of the bones, a serious inflammatory process.

First aid for bruises

What to do in case of injury? How to minimize the consequences? How to prevent the appearance of extensive hematomas?

For bruises on the coccyx, fingers, arms, legs, feet, knees, ribs and head, act correctly:

• rest the bruised area. Keep your arms and legs in a natural position. If possible, lie down, try to move less;
• make sure that the bruised area is above the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe heart;
• Apply something cold to the impact area as soon as possible. Your task is to reduce swelling, stop the "spread" of the hematoma. The ideal remedy is ice wrapped in a cloth, a cold compress from wet gauze or a terry towel;
• can't compress? Use any means at hand: scrape snow from the freezer, pack it in cellophane. Attach a cold bag of kefir or sour cream, a bottle of water, a cold egg, a jar of canned food to the bruised area, in a word, everything that will have a low temperature. One condition - the item must be clean;
• if there is no ice, put the limb under cold water, hold the bruised area for 5–7 minutes under a gentle stream;
• cool the sore spot for 15–20 minutes, no more, otherwise tissue necrosis will begin. You only need to slow down the blood circulation, stop the internal hemorrhage;
• after removing the cold compress, gently blot the area, apply pharmaceutical preparations. It is good if there is a tube of gel or ointment for bruises in the refrigerator. Folk remedies effectively dissolve hematomas.

Forbidden:

• drink alcohol, which dilates blood vessels;
• massage the bruised area;

Remember! The sooner treatment is started, the smaller the area covered by the hematoma. Failure to follow the rules of first aid will complicate recovery. A cold compress applied a day after the bruise is absolutely useless.

Further treatment

After 48 hours, the methods of struggle change dramatically:
