Most injuries heal on their own; but if you suspect that you have a severe injury that could cause swelling, it is better to consult your doctor as early as possible. A variety of antiseptics and antibiotics are used to control bleeding from an injury. Be sure to remove all rings or anklets. Otherwise, the damage can cause swelling, nerve compression or restricted blood flow. In general, swelling is an abnormal enlargement of a body part.
The fluids which are likely to accumulate in the affected area are bone marrow and blood. Four main types of swelling are caused by an injury: edema, effusion, hemarthrosis, and acute swelling.
Here is a list of best Home Remedies for the illness.
Coconut oil massage
Take a few drops of Coconut Oil and massage on the affected area for better results. A study published in the Journal of Medicines proves that coconut oil and Almond Oil are good for human health. The oil helps reduce swelling, so a gentle massage will soothe your muscles to a greater extent.
Also, it improves blood flow in the body and encourages drainage of excessive fluid (which is a primary cause of swelling from an injury). Mix two tablespoons of coconut oil and one cup of hot milk. Drink this solution every night before going to bed for outstanding results.
Turmeric
Turmeric is one of the most efficient and powerful remedies for relieving swelling and pain.
The curcumin present in turmeric has lots of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps reduce the redness of an injury and prevents the accumulation of microbes on the affected area.
Mix two teaspoons of turmeric powder and one teaspoon of coconut oil. Prepare a paste, and rub on the swollen area for five to ten minutes.
Allow it to dry, and then rinse off with cold water. Repeat the process twice per day or until you see improvements.
Ginger
Ginger has a lot of health and beauty benefits; it helps reduce the swelling and pain associated with an injury. A compound, gingerol, is present in ginger in excess. It has excellent pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.
It improves blood circulation and relieves musical pain to a greater extent.
Take a few ginger pieces and cut them into thin slices. Put the slices in one cup of hot water, and let it simmer for a few minutes. Strain and add some honey to prepare ginger tea. Drink it twice per day for prominent results. Alternatively, you can rub ginger on the affected skin area.
