Healing Bruises
How CanTea Tree Oil Help You Start Healing Bruises?I was looking for ways of healing bruises naturally. If you're like some of the folks in my family, getting a bruise is almost as easy as thinking about getting them...well, okay, maybe not quite that easy.
Even so, I can remember growing up with my mom never knowing where the small bruises on her leg or arm came from. They were never large or numerous, but it was obvious that she had bumped into something and that she bruised easily. The thought of having visible bruises can be the cause of lots of anxiety! It might mean wearing long sleeve shirts and long pants on sweltering hot days. There might be embarrassing questions, or feeling foolish for being "clumsy". If you bruise easily, you want quick relief and healing, and the over the counter remedies from the drugstore never seemed to work, so I went searching for something better. What I found was that my bruises could sometimes be prevented and I could help my body heal itself overnight! After researching remedies,trial and error, and lots of failure, I've found out how to ease the pain quickly, and get rid of the black and blue, usually before it starts. Through the right nutritional supplements and topical treatments, I almost never have a bruise.
Bruises, also called contusions, are caused by blood vessels or capillaries breaking and allowing blood to flow into the surrounding tissues. For the most part they are not considered serious, but when they are severe, they can indeed cause some problems, Besides being caused by trauma, some factors may contribute to easier bruising, including a Vitamin C deficiency. When light bruising occurs, and there is swelling present, an ice pack and elevation of the bruised area can help relieve the pain and work as a simple bruise remedy .
Ifyou want to speed up healing bruises, try putting a few drops of tea tree oil on the injury, and lightly massaging it. The thought is that it will help to heal the bruise from the inside out.

There are signs to look forto determine if your bruising is light or severe, the most obvious indicator, besides pain, is the coloring. Wikipedia gives thefollowing guide for bruise coloring and severity- - Dark-Purple/Black(very severe) -
- Yellow (severe)-
- Light-Purple/Blue(somewhat severe) -
- LightBlue/Light Purple (not very severe)
If you feel that your bruiseis severe, keep a close eye on it, and by all means get to the doctor. Remember the acronym " use R.I.C.E. for healingbruises" - Rest,
- Ice,

Pain killers fromyour doctor may help as well. Remember, severe complications can arise from bad bruises, including hematomas, internal bleeding, disruption of the blood flow, and severe bruises may be only part of the injury to bones, or internal organs. Massage in this situation mayworsen the injury, and lead to a longer recovery period for healing bruises and greater expense and damage to your body. When you need a bruise remedy or want to speed along healing bruises, keep a bottle of Tea Tree Oil handy.
