10 Swollen Feet Remedies
Swollen Feet Remedy #7: Yoga
Yoga practice includes movements that may be suitable for individuals of all ages or health conditions. The postures encourage blood circulation which helps to avoid pooling of blood in the feet and ankles. Inversion postures that involve elevating the feet above the ears also helps alleviate excess pressure and swelling on the lower extremities. It is an excellent way to relieve edema (a condition where excess fluid is retained in the feet and ankles).
Since pregnant women are particularly susceptible to edema, yoga is an exceptional method to reduce swelling in the feet and keeping fit. That being said, inversions are typically not used by pregnant women, especially if they were not practicing inversions prior to being pregnant. Before embarking on a new regime, please consult with your doctor to see if it is safe and take a class to learn from a professional!
