News India Live, Digital Desk: Do you also often feel that the shoes fit well in the morning, but by evening they start becoming tight? Or after working the whole day sitting on a chair in the office or standing in the kitchen, your legs feel strangely heavy and swollen?
Rest assured, you are not alone. This problem has become very common nowadays. Many times, due to excessive walking, sitting hanging for a long time, or sometimes due to water retention in the body, the feet swell like a balloon.
But there is no need to panic! For this, there is no need to run to the doctor every time or take painkillers. There are some effective remedies available at home which can give you relief within minutes. Come, let us know about those easy methods.
1. Magic of salt water (Rock Salt Water Soak)
This is the oldest and most effective method. You must have often seen your elders doing this.
- What to do: Take a tub with enough lukewarm water to submerge your feet. Now add a handful of rock salt in it.
- Benefit: Sit with your feet in this water for 10-15 minutes. Salt water removes tiredness from the muscles and works wonders in reducing swelling.
2. Oil Massage
Stoppage of blood circulation is also a major cause of swelling.
- What to do: Heat a little mustard oil or olive oil. Now massage the feet with light hands, especially the heels and toes. Keep in mind, massage from bottom to top (in the direction of the heart), this causes the accumulated blood to flow back upward and swelling reduces.
3. Keep your legs elevated (Elevate Your Legs)
This method is without any expense. We stand all day long, due to which all the pressure comes on the feet. Due to gravity, fluid also accumulates in the legs.
- What to do: When you lie down at night or rest on the sofa, place two pillows under your feet. Try to keep your feet slightly above the level of your heart. Due to this, the extra water accumulated in the legs comes back to the body and the swelling reduces.
4. Coriander Seeds Water
This recipe works internally. Many times swelling occurs due to accumulation of toxins in the body.
- What to do: Boil one spoon of whole coriander seeds in a glass of water until the water remains half. Filter it and drink it lukewarm. It cleanses the body and removes excess water.
Caution is necessary
Friends, the swelling due to fatigue will go away with these measures. But if you have swelling in the same leg, severe pain, or the swelling is not getting better for several days, do not ignore it. It can also be a sign of kidney or heart related problems. In such a situation, definitely consult a doctor.
