What are some remedies for aching swollen fee?

Question

During the day and especially at the end of the day my feet feel hot and achy. Got any remedies?

Answer 1

10 minute foot massage during the day, followed by calf stretching, ankle rolling, and foot bending. Consider buying some shoe inserts.
At night, wear comfy shoes around the house to make your feet feel more comfortable when you walk around the house. Roll a tennis ball under the arches of your feet to help massage them and give them strength. More foot massage.
Notes on foot massage: Yes, you can do it yourself. Just rub the ball of your foot, apply pressure to the arches, bend the toes back and forth and rub in between them, and be sure to push on the heel. Lotion is nice, but not necessary. (Wash your hands after wards if your feet smell.)

Answer 2

hope this can help u

Remove your shoes and socks and elevate your legs, keep them up, it helps.

Also apply a spray or oil from the pharmacy for heavy legs.

If you can go to a pool where there are jets and bubbles it would be good too, it will help with the circulation and rest.

If your sitting on an office most of the day make sure you get up every once in a while and walk around or keep a stool under the desk to elevate your legs every once in a while

If you are standing at work most of the time make sure you can have breaks to sit and relieve the tension from the feet.

Cold foot bath can also help the circulation. You don't have to stay long, just a couple of minutes, i do that sometimes it feels amazing after.

If it persists go to see a doctor.

Answer 3

I would recommend footwear with
a good arch support.

A nice soak in warm water w/ epsom salts,
some baking soda and a few drops of
essential peppermint oil and/or essential lavender oil will help feet feel much better.
Just let them air dry when you're done soaking them.

Buying a foot spa is also an excellent investment.
When sitting you might also want to try keeping your feet elevated as much as possible,


If you can afford it, you should see about trying to go for a foot massage at least once a week.
Ibrzezniakt will do wonders for the circulation in your feet, and will really help relieve the pain.

Drink plenty of water to flush your system and help reduce swelling.

Answer 4

Epsom salts are great in a warm/hot foot bath followed by a cool rinse. Be careful with the direct application of heat though, as it causes an increase in bloodflow to the area and hinder a reduction in swelling. Cold is generally effective, but be sure to never apply ice directly to the skin. If you don't like cold, heat to another area (that isn't injured - this is important) can help draw blood away from swollen areas.

I've also found contrasting (3 mins hot - 1 min cold x3 / always end with cold) baths to be helpful as well. Contrasting temperatures have a pumping effect, the heat pulls in fresh blood and nutrients, whereas the cold shunts away all the waste materials.

Answer 5

Soak in a cool foot bath. Use menthol or other cooling lotions. Elevate your feet. Invest in good walking shoes and support hose/socks if you are on your feet all day. Foot massages.

Answer 6

Ooooh! Mine too.
Big bucket of ice water, few ibuprophen and a nap. Soak the feets in the ice water as long as you can stand it. It surely helps.

Answer 7

Not sure about during the day if you work, but when you come home, soak them in a bucket or something in water. Always works for me.

Answer 8

soak in epsom salts when you get home.( you can get them at any drug store) They disolve in warm water and take the ache out. Good luck
