Answer 1

Hi Jen

Here is the reason and some ideas to heal your condition.

Cause
Bruising occurs due to blood that leaks out of capillaries, generally after an injury, and collects just beneath the surface of the skin.

Bruising is more common in children, primarily as a result of accidents. Bruising also occurs more frequently in women than in men, which may be due to the estrogen demands of vitamin C on the body.

Bruises that do not fade after a week, or are recurrent without cause, may be signs of bleeding disorders or vitamin C and bioflavonoid deficiencies. Or they could be signs of underlying stresses on the body that continually deplete the vitamin C stores.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Put a few drops of lavender oil on gauze compress and place on the bruise two or three times a day. Other essential oils that can help heal bruises are camphor, fennel, and hyssop.

Diet: Eat a whole foods diet that emphasizes foods rich in vitamin C and bioflavonoids, such as fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, and buckwheat.

Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® can be applied on bruises (minimum four times a day).

Herbs: Apply a compress made with oil of hyssop or a mixture of tumeric and honey to bruise.

Homeopathy: Arnica, Ruta grav., Hypericum, Hamamelis, and Symphytum are all useful remedies for bruising. Calendula lotion is another highly effective homeopathic treatment for bruising.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.

Juice Therapy: Drinking the juice of carrot and beet can provide necessary nutrients to help quicken healing time.

Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin C with bioflavonoids and rutin, alfalfa tablets, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin E, and iron are all nutrients that can speed the healing of bruising.

Topical Treatment: Mashed yerba santa leaves soaked in hot water, applied to the bruise and covered with a clean cloth, is a very effective treatment for bruising, as is a compress made of the chilled infusion of comfrey or sage. Applying a slice of raw onion to a bruise can also speed healing time. Alternatively, you can apply commercial witch hazel solution to the affected area.

Best of health to you

Answer 2

Frequent bruising is often a sign of vitamin c deficiency. Take a good high potency multiple vitamin with minerals daily and vitamin C with bioflavinoids 500 mg 3 times a day til the bruising is no longer a problem. Then cut back on the C unless you are ill or the bruising returns.
Good luck.

Answer 3

it all depends on why you bruise easy. you could jsut be one of those people that do bruise easy. however, if this is a relatively new problem you might what to get it checked out and if you are bruising for no reason at all, it could be a sign of something more serious.

Answer 4

Eat some bananas and begin taking vitamin B compound. I had this problem in my 20's and I tried the banana vitamin regimen and found that my skin was more resistant to bruising.
Good Luck.

Answer 5

being able to bruise easily isnt necessarily a bad thing, meaning nothing awful is wrong with you. it could mean you have thin blood, (my dad is on blood thinners and since he started them, has begun to bruise really easily) or you might be anemic as well. check with a doctor to see if you are, he might have you try taking iron.
