Can hot eggs reduce swelling and bruising?

Hot eggs can reduce swelling and dissipate blood stasis. Here, the main purpose is to utilize the warmth of hot eggs to promote the absorption of local inflammation and edema, but for the stasis syndrome in TCM internal medicine, hot eggs should not be used alone. In the empirical method of modern medicine, in case of accidents such as sprains and falls, localized swelling of the limb occurs, and the absorption of edema and inflammation can be promoted through hot compresses after 24 hours. Therefore, hot eggs can be used to reduce swelling and relieve pain (eliminate swelling and pain) by external application through its warming effect. In the case of blood stasis in TCM, hot eggs should not be used to reduce swelling and dissipate blood stasis, as eggs are food and do not have therapeutic properties. Chinese herbs such as Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong and Salviae Miltiorrhizae, which have the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis in the body), can be used to eliminate swelling and dissipate blood stasis. To reduce swelling and dissipate blood stasis, it is advisable to consult your doctor and choose the appropriate method under his/her guidance.
