A warm compress will promote circulation, reduce swelling, and relax muscles, thereby easing the inflammation. Witch hazel will not ease inflammation or promote muscle relaxation.

C!

Diuretics block sodium reabsorption and promote fluid loss, decreasing blood volume and reducing arterial pressure. Direct relaxation of arteriolar smooth muscle is accomplished by vasodilators, not diuretics. Vasodilators, not diuretics, act on vascular smooth muscle. Drugs that act on the nervous system, not diuretics, inhibit sympathetic vasoconstriction.
