Bruises & Acupuncture

6/13/2016

0 Comments

 
The black and blue spot that we call a bruise is actually a hematoma, a pooling of blood from broken blood vessels inside the muscles and tissues of the injured area. Although bruises get better on their own, it is best to treat all contusions as they can interfere with daily activities or sports performance for weeks or even months. ​
Picture
  1. The most important thing you can do to your injury after determining that no bones are broken and that movement will not increase damage is massage. (Stay away from icing it. WHY? Read it here.) Just rub the tissue around the injured body part with Trauma Liniment. Initially use gentle pressure, but as swelling and pain decreases you may go deeper. Massage helps to break up accumulations, loosen the tissue and also help improve blood flow while reduces swelling and pain. Trauma Liniment is used by martial artists all over the world, it is the number one treatment for sprains, bruises, contusions and fractures. This liniment contains herbs that stops pain, reduces swelling & inflammation and increases local blood flow without the unwanted side effects produced by icing. 
  2. Take herbs instead of anti inflammatories and pain medications. Trauma Pill is the internal counterpart to trauma liniments. The pill helps preventing blood from congealing in the tissues of the injured area therefore facilitate the return of normal circulation, allowing the injury to heal. Take 1 pill twice a day for 2-3 days. 
  3. Overnight apply San Huang San, an herbal product composed of cooling herbs that reduce inflammation and kill pain while increase local blood flow, break up the stagnation caused by the pool of broken blood vessels. 
  4. Get acupuncture. Acupuncture reduces swelling, stops muscle spasms, speeds recovery and activates muscles so you can be back at your game sooner.
