If they are fresh bruises, an ice pack will reduce the swelling. If they are old bruises, doctors often recommend alternating between ice packs and heat packs. But be careful, because if you have some serious bruises, you may have blood clots and you don't want to dislodge them. They can float around and end up in your lungs or brain. You might consider covering your bruises with a waterproof foundation instead. It will take at least a week for a bruise to go away (the body has to absorb the lost blood). Often it is longer, if the bruise is large or deep.

There is no natural way to heal it faster. Just wait. You could take dugs but I don't advice it.
