Swollen Feet Remedy #8: Magnesium
In some cases of painful swollen feet, ankles, or calves, you may want to see your general practitioner to see if magnesium supplements may be able to help. A magnesium deficiency can occasionally contribute to inflammation in the feet or cause edema. Even if you do not have a deficiency, magnesium supplements may still be a good idea as extra magnesium may help relief some symptoms.
The Mayo clinic has also reported that the addition of 200 to 400 mg of magnesium daily can help reduce water retention. However, it should be made aware that magnesium should be avoided in those with heart or kidney disease. Before starting new supplements, remember to consult with your primary care practitioner.
