Natural Cure for Swollen Feet
Any swelling of the legs and feet or hands is medically known as edema. If you are suffering from edema, the best thing you can do is to check your levels of water retention, since this is usually the cause of the problem. Edema occurs mostly during pregnancy, or due to a diet high in sodium.
In either case, you would need to cut down on your salt intake. Eliminate table salt altogether. Concentrate on a high fiber diet, rich in minerals and vitamins.
This will ensure that you are not adding to the problem. Focus more on salads than solid carbohydrates.
One of the most effective ways to fight edema is to keep drinking water. Though this may sound contrary, the simple logic here is that the more water you have in your body, the more it will flush unwanted toxins out, thus helping to bring down the swelling. Make it a point to exercise regularly in order to keep this problem under control. Walking is the best solution. If you are in a sedentary job, make certain you walk about every hour for at least 10 minutes. This will help you greatly. Try to keep your legs on a small stool, rather than dangling. This will also help with improved circulation.
