1. Accelerating Subcutaneous Bruise Resolution: Elder leaves contain dense concentrations of rutin and ursolic acid. Applied over closed blunt bruises (ecchymosis), the salve strengthens compromised microvascular capillaries, while stimulating local dermal macrophages to engulf and clear extravasated red blood cells, fading purple bruises rapidly.
