Witch Hazel Water Bath
The witch hazel water contains substances that can be natural tonic. These compounds help to relax your feet and legs, as wells as reduce problems related to poor venous return.
A research showed that its active ingredients favor blood flow and reduce discomfort such as burning, swelling, and the feeling of heaviness. [7] Add witch hazel to two cups of water and bring everything to a boil over low heat for 5 minutes. Cover the drink and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the water in a bowl and soak your feet for 20 minutes. Use it every day until the burn does away.
To avoid discomfort in your feet, it is important to choose the right shoes. Your shoes need to be comfortable, soft, and made of natural material. It is better to walk at home without shoes – in socks or barefoot.
It is also advisable to reduce the consumption of alcohol or not to drink it at all, to eliminate spicy foods and soda from the diet, since these products have bad effects on blood circulation.
