Bruising (Holistic)

About This Condition

Those tender black and blue marks on your body are often reminders of an accidental bump, although they can be signs of an underlying health condition. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.
  • Sample a combo supplement

    Reduce your tendency to bruise by taking a daily combination of at least 400 mg of vitamin C and 400 mg of flavonoids, such as hesperidin or rutin

  • Fill up on fruits and veggies

    Help prevent bruising by eating more foods rich in vitamin C and flavonoids

  • Get a checkup

    If you bruise easily, visit your doctor to rule out a treatable medical problem
