Locating Essential Oils For Bruises

By Thomas Cooper


Many people will get bruising after sustaining some type of injury and they can be very painful. There are various ways to relieve the pain and accelerate the healing process and a large number of people are now using oil. When you are looking for essential oils for bruises it is a good idea to do some research so that you use the correct products.

Bruising occurs when the blood vessels get damaged and leak blood which then builds up under the skin. A change of color will also occur as the red blood cells break down as the bruising starts to heal. Healing time varies with each patient and it depends on the amount of damage and if it is severe you should speak to a doctor for medical advice and treatment.

Various oils can be used including arnica, cypress, lavender and lemongrass and they all contain different properties. Many patients will blend these oils which can give better results and you can try different combinations. The neat essential oil is usually mixed with carrier oil such as coconut which dilutes the liquids so they can be used. It is also useful to use some cold treatment such as wrapping ice in a towel and applying it to the skin to reduce swelling and bruising.

There are many places where you can buy your oil and it is sold in different sized bottles. There are health stores in many towns and cities that stock it and a lot of pharmacies will also sell various types. You are also able to order and purchase from an internet based supplier and there are many to be found on the web.

The web is a good way to do some research on the various types of oils and to learn about how they work when applied to the skin. Many web sites will also have mixture ideas so that you can mix your oils and get good results. Internet retailers will usually have a testimonials page on their web site which will allow you to look at comments and reviews from satisfied customers.

If you plan to buy your products form a web based retailer there are some important things to be considered. Many suppliers will offer free shipping but if this is not available you will have to pay to get your products delivered. When the package arrives at your door you should check it carefully to make sure that your order is correct and not damaged.

It is very important that when you buy products from a store or an online supplier that you keep your payment receipts. If any items need to be returned or exchanged for another product you will need to produce the original receipt. Online suppliers may also send confirmation emails and you should print a copy of these or keep them on your computer for future reference.

You should be aware that this way of treating bruising is not approved by the medical profession and it may not work for everyone. If you use oil and you notice any problems or have a reaction to it you should stop applying it. Some patients will have allergies to certain products and will not be able to use this type of treatment.
