How to quickly eliminate bruises

Bruising is formed due to rupture of subcutaneous blood vessels, causing blood to leak into surrounding tissues. Methods to rapidly resolve bruising include the following: 1. **Cold compress**: A towel-wrapped ice pack can be applied locally to constrict blood vessels and reduce leakage, thereby promoting resolution of the bruise. 2. **Warm compress**: A warm towel or hot water bag can be used for local application, which helps accelerate local blood circulation and improve absorption of the bruised blood, possibly with better results. 3. **Medication**: Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as Notoginseng tablets, Salvia miltiorrhiza tablets, or Shujin Huoxue capsules may be taken. These medications can help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Sufficient rest is also important during treatment to avoid affecting recovery. 4. **Gentle massage**: A few days after the bruise forms, gently massage the affected area from the edges toward the center to promote blood circulation and accelerate absorption. 5. **Vitamin K**: Consuming foods rich in vitamin K or applying topical creams containing vitamin K may help shorten the duration of bruising.
