In daily life, it is inevitable to encounter bumps and bruises, so it is common to find redness, swelling, and bruising on one's body. In order to quickly reduce swelling and remove blood stasis, many people adopt some folk remedies, such as using tea or other substances to reduce swelling and remove blood stasis. Some people even choose to use breast milk, but in reality, can breast milk reduce swelling and remove blood stasis?
In fact, breast milk cannot have the effect of reducing swelling and removing blood stasis, and there are no other external effects. It can only provide babies with the nutrients they need orally. So if you have redness, swelling, and bruising on your body, do not use breast milk as it is not only ineffective but also unhygienic.
So what are some good methods to reduce swelling and remove blood stasis?
Firstly, cold compress can be used by placing a cold towel on the injured area and applying it about three times a day. However, it should be noted that the duration of each application should not be too long to avoid skin frostbite. This method can significantly reduce swelling and stasis in a relatively short period of time.
Secondly, apply hot compress. After being injured for more than 24 hours, using hot compress can be more effective in promoting blood circulation in the injured area, and some appropriate massage can also be performed. In addition, some blood activating and stasis removing drugs or ointments can also be used.
