5 health benefits of cold compresses

1. Cold compresses are most useful due to bruises or excessive strain on the skeletal-muscular system due to strenuous exercise.
2. Cold compresses are useful and effective due to pain, swelling and swelling after an injury (in such cases, the blood vessel narrows and the narrowing encourages blood clotting in the injured area). Redness appears during the next 3 to 4 days, the injury is hot to the touch, there is swelling and pain (with possible loss of function of the injured muscle).
3. In general, injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, connective tissue, blood vessels and even nerves can be treated with cold compresses.
4. Cold has a beneficial effect on wound healing, reduces bruises, relieves inflammation and pain, and reduces muscle spasms.
5. The most effective cold compress is made of a rubber bag (which is placed in the freezer). Pour water and alcohol in a ratio of 2:1. This way you get a compress that is much easier to handle than pure ice. It will be cold enough but not too firm (since the alcohol will prevent complete freezing).
