Bruising caused by IV drips, steroids, and blood thinners can be quite concerning. In Ayurveda, an approach to manage such bruisings involves addressing the balance of doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta, which might be aggravated. Since you’ve been on steroids and blood thinners, it’s crucial to proceed cautiously and also consult your primary healthcare provider before incorporating new treatments.
Firstly, nourishing the Rasa Dhatu (fluid tissue) is essential. Consuming a diet rich in antioxidants can help strengthen your blood vessels. Include foods like amalaki (Indian gooseberry), pomegranate, and moringa. Amrita (giloy) can be taken as a supplement, preferably with guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner, as it enhances immunity and helps to balance Pitta.
Applying cold compresses with cotton cloth soaked in mahabhringraj oil or a paste of turmeric and sandalwood to the bruised area can help reduce swelling and discoloration. Turmeric’s Kurkumin compounds work as an anti-inflammatory and may help your skin recover faster.
For internal purification, herbal teas made from tulsi, ginger, and turmeric can aid you. Simmer these herbs in water for about fifteen minutes daily, then strain and consume. They enhance blood circulation and promote faster healing.
Drink plenty of tepid water to maintain optimum hydration levels. Support digestive fire (Agni) with warm, easily digestible meals like kichari, spiced with cumin and coriander, to prevent further imbalance in your bodily systems.
Avoid excessive intake of pungent and acidic foods as they could exacerbate the situation. Ensure adequate rest to support healing, as excessive physical exertion might put further strain on your system.
Remember to monitor the bruises; if they worsen or if there is any significant pain or infection, seeking immediate medical attention is important. These Ayurvedic strategies serve best as complementary to, not substitutes for, conventional medical treatments. Proper communication with your healthcare provider about integrating these practices is always advised.
