FAQ
1. How long does it take to see results?
Many people feel temporary relief—like reduced heaviness—immediately after a foot soak or leg elevation. More lasting improvements often appear with consistent daily routines.
2. Can these remedies replace medical treatment?
No. Natural remedies can support comfort, but persistent, painful, or sudden swelling should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
3. How often can I use these remedies?
A foot soak can be done 3–4 times a week. Infused water can be enjoyed daily. Massage oil can be used once or twice a day.
4. What else helped reduce my swelling naturally?
Light stretching, walking breaks, avoiding long sitting periods, and elevating legs above the heart all made a big difference.
5. Are essential oils necessary?
They enhance the experience but are optional. You can still benefit from the soak or massage using simple salt water or plain carrier oils.
