HELLO,

A facial hematoma after trauma is mainly due to rakta (blood) stambha + vata aggravation, leading to localised swelling and hardness.

GOAL= reduce vata, disperse stagnated blood, and resolve swelling

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

A) WARM HERBAL COMPRESS -use warm compress 2-3 times/daily for 10-15 min. Helps soften the hematoma.

You may prepare a herbal warm compress with -Turmeric + rock salt + ajwain bundle heated gently OR -dashmoola kashaya warm fomentation These reduce vata + kapha obstruction

B) ANTI INFLAMMATORY HERBAL PASTE Apply once daily for 20-30 min

-Haldi + kumkumadi oil -Manjistha + aloe vera -Arka patra paste =reduces swelling, supports hematoma resolution

INTERNAL REMEDIES

1) TURMERIC + WARM MILK -1/2 tsp turmeric in warm milk -once daily at night =anti inflammatory and improves microcirculation

2) MANJISTHA CAPSSULE =500 mg twice daily after meals =helps clear stagnant blood

3) PUNARNAVA CAPSULE =1 cap 250mg twice daily after meals =reduces local edema + inflammation

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -warm, soft easy digestible foods -turmeric, garlic, ginger,cumin, ghee -amla juice or warm water for hydration

AVOID -cold foods -excess salt -heavy, fried foods -touching or pressing the hematoma

THANK YOU

Do warm compress for 10 minutes 2-3 times daily.

If there is no other complication, the hematoma may go off.

Hello Definitely,​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ your symptoms are telling about the formation of a post-traumatic hematoma (a localized mass of blood, usually clotted, in an organ, space, or tissue, e.g., under the skin), which can remain hard for several days or weeks.

✅ AYURVEDIC AND SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

These remedies not only help the body to reduce the swelling but also accelerate the process of getting the injured part healed:

👉Warm Compress (most important) A warm compress becomes a great helper in healing after 48–72 hours of the injury. –Use a clean cloth dipped in warm water (not hot). –Put it over the area for 10 minutes, repeating 2–3 times daily. –This is the way a hematoma gets reabsorbed swiftly.

👉Turmeric + Aloe Gel –Mix a small amount of turmeric powder with pure aloe gel and then apply the mixture to the desired area. –Relieves swelling and speeds up the repair of injured tissues. Do this once daily, and don’t let it come too close to the eye.

The body may take from 2 to 4 weeks to completely soften and get rid of a firm hematoma. A warm compress done regularly is what matters most.

✅ When to Seek Urgent Medical Attention

It would be good to check with a doctor straight away if you observe the following: Pain or swelling that worsens after 1 week Redness or warmth (signs of infection) Changes in vision Severe Headache Nose bleeding The swelling becomes bigger or harder

For a local hematoma that has been there for a week, near the eye, usually, warm compress and gentle herbal care would suffice. It should slowly become softer and get smaller over the next 1–3 weeks.

Warm Regards Dr Snehal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Vidhate

Dealing with a hematoma near the eye can be concerning, especially when it’s close to sensitive areas like the nose and eye. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this type of injury can cause vitiation of the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta due to the impact and resulting inflammation. While Ayurveda can provide support, it’s important to consider seeking a medical professional’s advice if any vision changes or increased pain occur, to rule out any serious complications.

For managing the hematoma with Ayurvedic guidance, firstly, cold compresses can be helpful in the initial phase to reduce swelling—though a week has passed, and it might still provide some relief. Consider gently applying a clean cotton cloth soaked in cool milk over the affected area for about 10-15 minutes. Milk has soothing properties and can help calm the Pitta vitiation.

Internally, including Tumeric in your diet can support healing due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Golden milk, which is warm milk mixed with turmeric (around half a teaspoon), can be consumed once a day, preferably at night. Note that if you have dairy intolerance, you might need to consider other turmeric-infused drinks using plant-based milks.

Topically, application of a paste made from Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) and turmeric mixed with water can promote healing and reduce discoloration. Apply lightly to avoid any irritation.

Reducing oral intake of spicy, acidic, or salty foods can further help manage Pitta aggravation which might worsen inflammation – favoring cooling, more neutral foods like cucumbers, melons, and coconut water can be beneficial.

Lastly, incorporate rest to avoid straining the affected area. Avoid strong perfumes or any irritants around the face as they can exacerbate discomfort. Remember these are supportive measures and if there’s any deterioration or severe symptoms, consult a healthcare provider without delay.

Tab. Gandhak Rasayan 2 tabs twice a day before food Tab. Triphala Guggul 2 tabs twice a day before food

Triphala kwath for eye wash. Before that wash with normal water.

Warm to hot fomentation.

If there is redness in the eye you can go for JALAUKA AVCHARAN from a M.D Panchakarma doc.

Also visit an OPTHALMOLOGIST and ENT for detailed internal examination for internal injuries.
