Introduction:
Bruises can occur for a variety of reasons — from minor bumps to more significant accidents. Often, bruises are nothing to worry about and heal naturally with time. However, if you notice frequent bruising without any obvious cause, it could be a sign of an underlying deficiency, such as a lack of vitamin C or calcium. In this article, we’ll explore a natural remedy that can help your body heal bruises faster, as well as tips on supporting your body’s overall health to prevent bruising in the future.
Ingredients:
To make this healing remedy, you will need the following ingredients:
1 tablespoon of coconut oil (acts as a soothing base and helps moisturize the skin)
1 teaspoon of turmeric powder (known for its anti-inflammatory properties)
2-3 drops of vitamin E oil (promotes skin healing)
1-2 drops of lavender essential oil (soothes the skin and reduces swelling)
1 tablespoon of crushed ice (helps with swelling relief)
Instructions:
Prepare the mixture: In a small bowl, combine the coconut oil and turmeric powder. Stir until it forms a smooth paste.
Add the healing oils: Mix in the vitamin E oil and lavender essential oil to the paste.
Apply to the bruise: Gently massage the paste onto the bruised area using your fingertips. Ensure the bruise is fully covered with a thin layer of the mixture.
Add ice (optional): If your bruise is swollen, place a small amount of crushed ice in a clean cloth and gently press it onto the bruise for about 10 minutes.
Leave it on: Let the mixture sit for 20 to 30 minutes. You can also leave it overnight for maximum effect.
Rinse off: Wash the area gently with warm water. Repeat this process twice a day for best results.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Storage: This remedy is best used fresh, as coconut oil and turmeric can lose their effectiveness over time. If you make extra, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep it away from direct sunlight.
Application: Apply the remedy as soon as you notice the bruise. The earlier you treat the area, the quicker you’ll see results.
