7. Warm Compress

While cold is best right after an injury, heat helps later in the healing process. A few days in, a warm compress can improve circulation and help the bruise fade faster. A hot water bottle or a cloth soaked in warm water works well, as does a heating pad — just make sure to wait a few days before applying any heat.
