Natural and Simple Remedies to Reduce Swelling
1. Cold Therapy for Instant Relief
Use a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a cloth to your feet for 15–20 minutes. This helps lessen inflammation and the heavy feeling—especially after hot days or long periods of standing.
2. Boost Your Legs
Lie down and raise your legs above heart level by resting them against a wall or on a cushion. This helps blood flow back toward the heart and naturally eases swelling.
3. Softening Foot Soak
Rinse your feet in warm water, with or without Epsom salt, to ease tension, boost circulation, and help remove toxins. The warm water relaxes your vessels, while the salt helps release trapped fluids.
Tip: Add a few drops of lavender crucial oil for extra relaxation.
4. Hot-Cold Alternation
Apply two basins—one with hot water, the other cold. Rinse your feet in hot water for 3–5 minutes, then switch to cold for 30–60 seconds. Repeat for 15–20 minutes. This contrast promotes microcirculation and helps lessen fluid buildup.
