Natural Treatment of Bruises

Why does it happen?

Bruising happens when there is damage under the skin due to bumping a fall or an injury. The blood from the injured blood vessels is released and it spreads under the skin that causes the blood to get trapped and this is what forms the redness in the area.

There are 6 levels of bruising
Level 1 light bruise: no damage
Level 2 mild bruise: little damage
Level 3 moderate bruise: some damage
Level 4 serious bruise: dangerous
Level 5 extremely serious bruise: very dangerous
Level 6 critical bruise: risk of death

Light-moderate bruising:

– It has a reddish color when it first shows up

– 1-2 days it gets a blue color

– 5-10 days yellow/green

– 14 days light brown and fades away.
