What to do if blood stasis occurs

When the human body accidentally touches a hard object, blood stasis is likely to occur. If the blood stasis is not very serious, it will generally disappear automatically. This is mainly because human cells have a certain self-healing ability. However, if the blood stasis is more serious, it usually requires treatment to eliminate it, otherwise it can easily lead to local tissue necrosis. So, what to do about blood stasis?

For more serious blood bruises, the first thing to do is to check whether the bones are also injured. This requires going to the hospital for an X-ray. If the bones are injured, it will be more troublesome to treat. But if the bones are not injured, you only need to deal with the blood bruises.

Cold compress and hot compress are widely used methods to remove blood stasis. The effects vary from person to person, and the speed of removing blood stasis is not very fast. Within 24 hours after the injury, it is best to apply cold compress immediately, using an ice pack (ice cubes) or an ice water towel to apply to the injured area for about 30 minutes. Do not apply cold compresses to an injury for more than 24 hours, as this will do more harm than good.

After the cold compress, hot compress should be applied. Hot compress needs to be done every day, preferably once in the morning, noon and evening, and continue until the bruises disappear. There are many ways to apply hot compress. You can use hot water to soak a towel, hot eggs, hot sand in a cloth bag, hot coarse salt in a cloth bag, etc., and apply these hot materials to the most painful and bruised areas.

Rubbing pepper wine is an effective and fast method to remove blood stasis. Pick some fresh peppercorns or buy some Sichuan peppercorns from a Chinese medicine store, and then buy some white wine with an alcohol content of about 60%. Put the peppercorns into a glass bottle with a sealed lid, and then pour the white wine into the bottle (just enough to cover the peppercorns, and add more white wine for dry peppercorns), then cover the lid and put the glass bottle in a pot of hot water for a water bath for more than an hour. Apply the hot medicinal wine to the dark bruises every morning, noon and evening. It will quickly remove the bruises and also heal injuries and relieve pain.

Fire therapy is also a good way to remove blood stasis and relieve pain, and it is very effective. Find a bottle of disinfectant alcohol, dip a cotton ball in alcohol (it is better not to drop alcohol), clamp it with tweezers, light it and roll it back and forth on the bruise, dip it in alcohol again after the fire is out, and repeat the operation for 15 to 30 minutes, every morning, noon and evening; you can also apply a wet towel to the bruise, then drop a few drops of alcohol on the bruise, then light it on fire, and continue to drop alcohol and repeat the operation after the fire is out, and repeat the fire therapy for 15 to 30 minutes.

The above are all solutions to what to do with blood stasis. If you want to eliminate blood stasis as quickly as possible, the best way is to use blood letting, which is to use some tools to cut open the blood stasis area, and then slowly squeeze out the blood stasis. Although this method is faster, it requires professionals to operate it.
