【傷患處理】你平日用甚麼方法去瘀呢？
#有同事話無雞蛋用熱飯都得
#同樣是靠熱力散瘀的原理

碌熱雞蛋去瘀青？
記得小時候，如果撞傷跌瘀了，媽媽就會烚熟一隻雞蛋，再將銀戒指或銀鏈塞進雞蛋之中，然後用毛巾包著雞蛋，趁熱時不斷在瘀青位置上搓揉，還記得最後打開雞蛋時，會發現銀器發黑！聽說這樣能去除瘀血，而瘀青又真的會在數天內慢慢消散。
其實並非雞蛋有特別的去瘀血功效，雞蛋在搓揉的過程中只是一種媒介，散瘀原理是以熱力溫通活血。從前選用雞蛋除了因為方便，亦可能因為它的形狀適合在皮膚上滾動有關。至於銀器發黑，其實是銀器與雞蛋及熱力接觸的化學作用，與吸走瘀血並沒有關係。
如果發現瘀傷，利用熱力及按揉驅散瘀血是可取的做法，但要注意需要過了「黃金72小時」後才按揉，因為瘀傷在形成的首72小時，皮下血管凝血或許未完全成形，按揉有可能會使瘀傷擴大。當瘀傷剛形成時，宜先用冰敷減少出血情況，72小時後才進行熱敷按揉促進血液循環散瘀。
Get rid of bruising with a hard boiled egg?
You might remember as a kid when you would get a bruise, your mom would boil an egg for it. She would stuff a silver ring or necklace into the egg, then wrap the egg with a towel. Then rub the towel on the bruise while the egg was still hot. When you open up the towel, you found that the silverware turned to black! It is said that this method can remove blood stasis. The bruises would slowly disappear in a few days.
The reality is egg does not has a special effect on healing bruises. The egg is only a medium used for the process of rubbing. The principle of removing blood stasis is to warm the blood and activate the flow by heat. Egg was the convenient choice in the old days as its shape is suitable for rolling on the skin. As for the blackening of silverware, it is actually the chemical action of silverware and egg with thermal contact, and it is not related with sucking blood stasis.
If you are bruised, it is recommended to disperse blood stasis by rubbing with heat.
However, you should rub the bruises after passing “golden 72 hours”. As the bruises are in formation in the first 72 hours, the coagulation of blood vessels under the skin are still not completely formed. Rubbing may enlarge the bruises. When the bruise has just formed, it is recommended to apply an ice pack to reduce the bleeding.
After 72 hours, you can apply hot packing and rubbing the bruises to promote blood circulation then disperse blood stasis.
