Bruising is caused when the underlying blood vessels get crushed resulting in a leakages of blood into the surrounding tissues. The blood collects and then results in discoloration of the underlying tissues. The bruise may spectacularly change color due to re-absorption and breakdown of blood leaks.


Some people form a lot of blood clots because of weak blood vessels but you can avoid this problem by following a few precautions -

  • Eat foods rich in bioflavonoid which protect the capillaries and strengthen them. Another name for bioflavonoid is vitamin P. Combine these with vitamin C for a much better effect.


    The best bioflavonoid are found in lemons, broccoli, green peppers and rose hips.
  • Certain people use St John’s Wort as the best treatment for Bruises.
  • You can also use cold Witch Hazel lotion on your cuts and bruises to reduce a swelling and pain.
  • Comfrey is among best remedies for any type of bruising and skin injury. You can use a fresh poultice of the leaves as a traditional home remedy for skin injuries. Comfrey encourages tissue healing and reduces swelling.
