Prop your legs up above heart level using a pillow or by resting them against a wall. This simple move helps fluids flow back toward your heart and takes the pressure off swollen feet.
3. Soothing Foot Soak
Fill a basin with warm water and add a handful of Epsom salt. The warmth relaxes your muscles, and the salts can help draw out excess fluid.
Tip: Add a few drops of lavender essential oil for a calming, spa-like touch.
4. Hot–Cold Contrast Bath
Try alternating between two basins—one with hot water and one with cold:
-
Soak your feet in the hot water for 3–5 minutes
-
Switch to cold for 30–60 seconds
-
Repeat for 15–20 minutes
This temperature contrast boosts circulation and helps reduce fluid buildup.
