What are the best topical medications for reducing swelling and promoting blood circulation?
In daily life, it is inevitable that people will bump into things. Many times, after being hit by objects, falling down, or being scratched by items, the body will leave obvious scars. Trauma usually causes skin redness, swelling, pain, and blood stasis. At this time, to reduce swelling and promote blood circulation, Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, huoxue hemostatic patch, and safflower oil can be used. These three kinds of swelling-reducing effects are relatively obvious, and the symptoms can be relieved quickly after use.
Yunnan Baiyao aerosol belongs to the spray type, and it has a faint fragrance. When there is a trauma injury, open the nozzle and spray it onto the affected area. It is used to treat trauma, blood stasis, swelling, and pain, and has good curative effects in promoting blood circulation, dissipating blood stasis, reducing swelling, and relieving pain. After spraying, a transparent medicinal film is formed on the skin surface. Do not rub the medicinal film before using Yunnan Baiyao aerosol, and remember not to use Yunnan Baiyao aerosol more than 3 to 5 times a day.
The main ingredients of Huoxue analgesic patch include whole insects and Pseudoginseng, etc. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, and relieving pain. It is used for trauma injuries such as sprains and swelling pain. It is best to clean the injured area with warm water before applying the patch, then apply white wine to the affected area with a cotton swab, and then take a Huoxue analgesic patch and apply it to the affected area. After a day or two, remove it and apply the same method again the next day.
Safflower oil is a topical medication that can be used for burns, falls, scalds, etc. It mainly has the effect of promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. If there is bleeding, the external application of safflower oil can only be done 24 hours after the bleeding symptoms have been treated. Special attention should be paid to the time interval of external application when there are wounds and bleeding.
