Epsom Salt Bath
Epsom salt, known as magnesium sulfate, is a low-cost, safe, and easy-to-get home remedy for swollen feet. It readily dissolves in water and is believed to reduce swelling and inflammation by drawing toxins out of the body.
Though its therapeutic claims are yet to be proven by science, many people swear by its efficacy. It is instrumental in easing pain and relieving inflammation. Soaking in Epsom salt baths allows the breaking up of magnesium and sulfate so they can get into the body through the skin, which helps the muscle relax and the joints loosen.
An Epsom salt bath can also help treat sore muscles, arthritis, bronchial asthma, insomnia, soreness, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, and migraine headaches. In addition, it was well-known for its therapeutic properties and efficacy in reducing pain, soreness, and inflammation resulting from childbirth.
To use it against swollen feet, doing a transdermal magnesium supplementation or running an Epsom salt bath is best. To do so, dissolve a cup of Epsom salt in a tub full of cool or lukewarm water, then soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
