I haven't heard of any home remedies for stone bruises. Magic cushion is the only stuff besides veterinary prescribed medication that I have had work. Not sure if soaking in Epsom salts would be a good thing as warm water will cause vasodilation that will increase blood flow to the damaged part therefore increasing pressure in the foot. I would contact your vet and see what he/she has to say
