Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Bruised ribs don't really have "home remedies" - as in - there is nothing you can take or not much you can do besides icing the area, taking something like Advil and rest, until they heal. Rest is imperative. If you feel that you may have actually broken your ribs, you need to see a doctor.
Best,
Susan
