Bruise remedies
The following article gives information about bruises and the pain such bring. It is possible to effectively speed the natural recovery process from this painful condition. As part of our regular newsletter there will be examples of successful alternative treatments. Increasing the speed of bruise recovery Bruising results from the release of blood from the capillaries into the tissues under the skin. The characteristic bluish-black mark on the skin lightens in colour and eventually fades as the blood is absorbed by the tissues and carried away. Bruising usually occurs as a result of an injury, but can occasionally be spontaneous and an indication of an allergic reaction, or more serious disease. Eat foods high in bioflavonoids, originally called Vitamin P. A bioflavonoids primary job is to protect the capillaries, keep them strong and to prevent bleeding. Bioflavonoids are also anti- inflammatory. Lemons, green peppers, broccoli and rose hips are good sources of bioflavonoids. If taking bioflavonoid supplements, for the best absorption into the body, take with Vitamin C. The early Greek herbalists considered St. Johns Wort an effective herb for healing wounds . It was used to dress sword cuts in the Middle Ages. Modern analysis of the plant has shown the plant to have antibacterial and astringent properties, both qualities useful in the speedy healing of cuts and wounds. Externally, either add a few drops of tincture to an organic oil or cream and gently apply to the bruised area or apply a few drops of the tincture directly to the skin and allow to soak in. An infusion can be used to bathe wounds, skin sores and bruises. Internally, take as an infusion or tincture for anxiety, nervous tension, irritability or emotional upsets. For long-standing nervous tension, take a tincture for at least two months. Comfrey is among the oldest herbal remedies for skin problems. Poultices of the fresh leaves are a traditional home remedy for sprains, bruises and cuts. Comfrey not only promotes the healing of tissue and bone, but at the same time reduces swelling, effectively speeding up the healing process. Comfrey's healing powers have been attributed to its high content of allantoin, a substance that promotes the growth of tissue, bone and cartilage, both externally and internally. There is however some controversy over the safety of taking comfrey internally over a long period. It contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, compounds that are toxic to the liver. So use liberally in a cream or oil externally on bruised skin. Cabbage has traditionally been used for medical purposes as well as for cooking. It has anti- inflammatory properties, and contains chemicals which can prevent cancer. Applied to bruises and swelling, macerated cabbage leaves will encourage healing . Arnica has long been valued as a folk remedy for bruises and sprains. It has great pain- relieving, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Although widely used in forms of pills, creams and tinctures, it is best reserved for use on the skin. Add a few drops of the tincture to a cup of water, soak a clean cloth and then apply as part of the bandaging. Alternatively apply in a cream or make you own liniment*. *liniment: a warming rub, often made by mixing tinctures with olive, coconut oil or a herbal infused oil. Parsley is a common garden herb, rich in vitamins and therapeutic properties. Parsley has the ability to shrink small blood vessels and is helpful in treating piles, broken or thread veins and bruising. Crush a handful of parsley and apply to bruised area. Repeat regularly with the fresh herb and the leaves will clear up the black-and-blue marks in a few days. One could also bathe the area with Witch hazel, which disperses the blood and encourages healing. Witch hazel is an astringent, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic.

Toys that are heavy in relationship to their breadth bruise more. Those that are lightweight sting more. Try paddles made of lightweight plastic or wood to minimize bruising. Wooden spoons, ping-pong paddles, and spatulas are also good to try. Just because an implement is lightweight doesn't mean it can't really hurt! Speeding up the rate between swats greatly affects the sensation. Varying the number of fast repetitions, rather than the force, offers another degree of control for the spanker. Try to relax during play. Tension seems to accentuate bruising. Long, gradual warm ups help too. If you want to avoid bruising apply cold to your bottom before and after a spanking. Keep your skin in good moist condition by using lotion. Dry skin will crack easier. You may want to consider a vitamin C supplement of 500mg three times a day. Vitamin C helps build collagen tissue around blood vessels in the skin. This will help the vessel resist rupture. Some people have had good results healing bruises by using arnica (either topical or oral, available in health food stores) and bruise plasters (available in Asian herbal pharmacies). People on anticoagulant medication (heparin, aspirin, warfarin- coumadin) for problems with clotting should avoid playing hard. Drugs that fall under the category of anti-inflammatory, antidepressants or asthma medications also may inhibit clotting under the skin. These drugs tend to make bruises larger. Treating a bruise
A bruise is actually internal bleeding. You want to apply ice so that the blood vessels shut down. Do this in 15 minute intervals. Don't apply heat to the skin. Let it warm up naturally. After 24 hours you want to open up the blood vessels to the area so that the blood that has pooled under your skin can be carried away. To do this you apply heat. This same rule should be applied for sore muscles. Always use cold for the first 24 hours and then heat.
I take a slow release
vitamin supplement that is designed
specifically to prevent bruising. Its available from health food
shops here in Brisbane.
The ingredients are: 1000 mg Vit C, 50mg Bioflavonoid, 13.7mg Zinc
sulphate monohydrate, 12.5 mg Rutin and 12.5mg Hesperidin.
The vitamin C assists with collagen formation, Zinc is for healing,
regulating muscle response, nervous system transmission and
strengthening the connective tissue. The bio flavonoids, rutin and
hesperidin help to protect the capillaries.
You can take 1-2 tablets a day, I usually take 1 and then up it to 2
a few days before a spanking, and I get very little if any bruising
now.
The other thing you can use is Arnica cream, if you apply this soon
after the spanking it will prevent bruising too. This is also readily
available at health food shops.
....... Spanking Queensland
THE RESULTS OF A SUSTAINED HAIRBRUSH SPANKING
The marks in the centre of each check occurred because the point of impact ( MPI * , to be technical ) is slightly high and the blows were concentrated in this area .
* (DOD,
NATO) The point whose coordinates are the arithmetic
means of the coordinates of the separate points of impact/burst
of a finite number of projectiles fired or released at the same aiming point
under a given set of conditions.
This close up shows the beads of oil and perspiration and blood droplets which are part of the healing process . The area was treated with diluted antiseptic followed by antiseptic cream . The bottom returned to normal in 7 days .
See : WHICH AREA OF THE BOTTOM SHOULD BE SPANKED ? for more information .
Hairbrush
spanking
( From a recent Email . )
I would like to know generally how long it usually takes for hairbrush spanking marks and welts to disappear . Will they usually go away within a couple of days ? Can you give me a general idea ? I will be the recipient of a hard hairbrush spanking from a professional Dominatrix this Friday and my spouse will return from a business trip late Monday evening . Should I anticipate that the marks will be gone by then or will they still be visible ?
These factors include :
-
How strong the individuals small veins ( capillaries ) are and the thickness of their blood ( e.g. aspirin will thin the blood ) .
-
Preparation , see : BEFORE AND AFTER A SPANKING . Having a warm up prior the the main spanking will reduce bruising and increase tolerance .
-
Wearing tight shorts may reduce damage and a noticeable " bald spot " in your bottom hair .
-
Avoid over stretching the skin , generally the angle between upper and lower body should be over 100 degrees .
-
The skill of the " professional Dominatrix " you will be seeing ( see : WHICH AREA OF THE BOTTOM SHOULD BE SPANKED ) and her ability to vary the force , angle and impact area .
-
If there is any doubt about the level of bruising , stop and examine the damage , before continuing .
-
Follow the advice on the BEFORE AND AFTER A SPANKING Page about reducing swelling etc . The sooner that the " massage " is done , the better . It is too late to substantially repair bruises once they have " set " .
-
Finally , avoid using a small hairbrush , or one with sharp edges or corners . Larger clothes brushes etc. may be a better alternative ( see : HAIRBRUSHES and JOKARI PADDLES ) .
