20 Genius Hacks to Heal Bruises Naturally

12. Epsom Salt Soaks

If your bruise is near a joint or on a limb, try soaking in a warm bath with Epsom salt. Rich in magnesium sulfate, Epsom salt helps reduce swelling, ease soreness, and relax tight tissues that may be constricting blood flow. Dissolve 1–2 cups in a tub of warm water and soak for 15–20 minutes. For smaller bruises, you can create a compress by soaking a cloth in Epsom salt water and applying it directly. It’s an ideal remedy for post-workout bruises or minor injuries—and it doubles as a calming self-care ritual.
