Swollen legs: what are the symptoms and treatments?
cold for fast relief
Applying an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to your feet and holding it there for 15 to 20 minutes can help reduce inflammation and relieve the feeling of heaviness. This is the perfect solution after a day of intense heat or long periods of standing.
Leg lift: a simple and effective reflex
Lie down and prop your legs against a wall or pillow so they are higher than your heart. This promotes venous return and naturally reduces swelling.
Relaxing foot bath: your ally in relaxation
A warm foot bath, alone or with Epsom salt, helps release tension, stimulate circulation, and expel toxins. The warm water dilates blood vessels; the salt helps eliminate retained fluids.
Bonus tip: A few drops of lavender essential oil will enhance the calming effect.
