Let them heal, don't hit them more then they've already been hit, and just drink liquids. :) I don't know a better way than that, my bruises only last like a day.

Yes, get a large white onion and cut a 1/4'' slice and tape it to the area. Leave on overnight and repeat again if necessary. This really works.

I don't think there is a "fast" way, although, all of these natural remedies will help speed up the process... * Vitamin K. Take Vitamin K or alfalfa in tablets helps blood clotting. * Vitamin C. Take Vitamin C to prevent bruising by thickening the walls of blood vessels. * Vitamin E. Vitamin E works synergistically with vitamin C to repair tissues. * Zinc. Zinc is helpful in maintaining healthy connective tissue, and a deficiency can lead to bruising. Take 50-100 mg daily. However, don't take doses this high for more than a week or two without medical supervision, as it may interfere with absorption of other important minerals, especially copper. * Mustard. Make a poultice of mustard and apply to the bruise. It will draw the blood away from the bruise. Combine 2 parts of ground mustard seed with one part set honey and one part finely chopped onion. Apply to the bruised area and cover with a bandage. This will relieve the bruise and swelling. * Onions. Make a poultice of roasted onions and apply to the bruise.Cut an onion, dip it in apple cider vinegar and rub on the bruise as soon after it occurs as possible to prevent black and blue marks. * Pepper. Applying black pepper oil to the bruise will also draw the blood away from it. * Vinegar. Make a compress and soak it in vinegar to alleviate the bruise and swelling. Avoid getting it in the eyes. * Cayenne pepper & Vaseline. Chinese people use a mixture of 1 part cayenne pepper and 5 parts melted Vaseline, mix and cool, apply once a day. * Confrey root or Buchu. Make a tea with confrey root or buchu. soak a rag in the tea and apply to bruised area, this has been shown to reduce pain and discoloration of the skin. * Arnica. To alleviate dark, swollen bruises, apply a gel containing arnica every three hours to encourage healing. Or, apply a tincture or cream to the affected area. Arnica traditionally has been used for muscle aches, sprains and bruises. The gel should improve the swelling, stiffness and discoloration. Some people have a reaction to arnica, so if your skin becomes red, itchy or inflamed, discontinue use. * Parsley. Parsley is another herb which has abundant supply of vitamins and works as a therapeutic treatment for the wound. Apply crushed parsley on the bruised area. Keep doing this till the blue or black marks disappear forever. * Witch Hazel. Having a soothing bath with Witch Hazel helps in circulation of the blood and in the healing process. The astringent, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic attribute just makes it a great home remedy. * Cabbage. Cabbage contains anti-inflammatory properties which applied in emaciated form on bruises or swelling can help the healing procedure. -Arnica works great for bruises or sprains. It has wonderful and useful properties to provide healing touch to your wounds. Use few drops of arnica tincture in a cup of water, soak a clean cloth and apply this cloth for bandaging. * St. Johns Wort - St. Johns Wort is known to have done wonders for bruises. The anti-bacterial and astringent properties make it apt for treating them. -Add few drops of St. John Wort tincture to an organic oil or cream and apply it on the bruised area. The skin would absorb the tincture which would help the healing process.
