1.Vitamin E enhances blood flow. Vitamin E may potentiate the effect of anticoagulant drugs, so if you are taking any blood thinning medicine, check with your doctor before starting this nutrient.
2.Magnesium, known for its many benefits to the cardiovascular system, dilates the tightened blood vessels. Magnesium is best taken with food. If diarrhea develops, cut the dose.
3.Inositol hexaniacinate is a relative of the B vitamin niacin that stimulates blood flow in the arms, fingers, legs, and toes. Though it improves circulation, this form of niacin does not cause the unwelcome flushing associated with regular niacin.
4.The herb ginkgo biloba is known for its ability to open the smallest blood vessels. Look for a version that is standardized to contain at least 24% flavone glycosides.
5.You can use evening primrose oil by itself or in combination with other supplements. An acceptable substitute is the less-expensive borage oil, which also contains GLA.
6.Fish oil supplements may work if other supplements don't. If you have diabetes, speak with your doctor about the dosage. High doses can affect blood sugar levels for the worse.
Biofeedback and relaxation exercises may help relieve symptoms.
Because fish oil has been shown to help, try to eat oily fish (salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines) at least twice a week.
Avoid taking decongestants; check out other medications you take with your doctor to make sure they don't trigger symptoms too.
Avoid nicotine and caffeine, which cause blood vessels to constrict.

I agree, walking is the best way. Don't sit with your feet on the floor for extended periods of time, if you can elevate them for ten minutes every couple of hours (or get up and take a walk). Also, and this one's going to sound strange, but look online for hematite. It's a stone. I get mine here: http://www.crystalcaravan.com/Tumbled%20Stones.htm
I bought mine for a different reason, but i found out quite by accident that it's also good for circulation (I have poor circulation in my left leg). Carried it around for a week and didn't have problems at all in my leg.

Fenugreek increases blood flow to peripheral arteries and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms.
