If swelling is a natural thing, why do we wear compression socks, elevate our swollen feet, and put them in ice? Doesnt the blood being there allow the body to cure the area?

I’m paraphrasing but I was once told this by a Wound Care Doctor regarding scabs.
“Scabs are great for protecting a wound but terrible for healing it. Wound care is wet. ”
So I questioned that…he said, “your body is doing the best it can to heal you as if doctors didn’t exist, scabs, swelling, calluses feet are all ways that your body protects itself to live outdoors, naked”
Makes sense..
