Top 4 Ways To Clear Up The Black Eye

In the early 1900's, people treated bruises by putting a leech to suck out the blood. After that, some people discovered that using meat is more better that using leeches. They put sirloin on the black eye and it works.

Nowadays, doctors no longer use leeches or steak. Even make up cannot hide it totally. The best and most effective way to block a black eye is discussed below.

1. Use Ice Pack

As mentioned above that people before use steak to heal a black eye, it is because of the coldness of the steak and not the meat itself and that's expensive way of treatment. Ice pack is the new trend. Cold works in two ways. It helps keep the swelling down and, by constricting the blood vessels, helps decrease the internal bleeding that causes the black-and-blue color.

2. Don't Blow Your Nose

If you have a black eye, avoid blowing your nose because it could cause your face blow up like a balloon. Sometimes the injury fractures the bone of the eye socket, and blowing your nose can force air out of your sinus adjacent to the socket. The air is injected under your skin and makes eyelids swell even more and can increase the chance of infection.

3. Don't Take Aspirin

Aspirin is anticoagulant, meaning the blood won't clot as well. It will not stop the bleeding that causes the discoloration. Doctors recommend most the Acetaminophen. 

4. Try The Boxer's Treatment

Boxers usually gets black eye after a training or a fight. Their trainers use a small metal iron that is extremely cold to control the immediate hemorrhage so that the swelling is minimized. The concept is same with the ice pack as discussed above. It's all about the cold.
