How Can I Stop Bruising All Over?
First of all make sure that you guard your vulnerable areas as much as you can. Wear protective clothing anywhere where you bruise easily. Wear long sleeves arms and trousers in order to protect any exposed areas. Ask your doctor about any sort of protective options for those areas where you are most at risk. In addition, keep yourself away from harm as much as you can. If there any any things that you do that cause you to bruise, make sure that you avoid them as much as possible.
Something else that can cause you to bruise easily is a lack of vitamin K. If you do not get enough of this vitamin, the blood can fail to clot properly. If you are prone to bruising then you should ensure that you take in more green vegetables which are high in the vitamin. Things like broccoli and cabbage are great options to incorporate into your diet.
Also if you are seeing that you are bruising without any apparent cause then you need to make sure that you get more vitamin C into your diet. This can be got through a variety of different fruits and will help your capillary walls to be strengthened and therefore less prone to leakage and bruising. You could also try to get a multivitamin supplement into your diet so that you are sure that you are getting all of your daily requirements.
There is only so much you can do to make sure that you do not bruise but naturally you will bruise from time to time whatever you do. You can use something called arnica cream on a bruise when this does happen. Rub this in several times each day to the affected area.
Another good treatment is hydrotherapy. You should get hold of two towels and soak one of them in warm water and the other in cold. Then place the warm towel on the bruise for three minutes followed by the cold one for half a minute. Repeat this process four or five times daily to help the bruise to clear more quickly.
Last of all, you can use a bit of aromatherapy. Get together the necessary oils and rub them lightly into the skin. Then wrap a bandage over the area nice and loosely.
These are some of the things you can do to help prevent bruising and well as different therapies you can use to help them clear more quickly.
