The consumption of herbal teas such as draining and diuretic nettle green, Rusco, ponytail, or mallow fennel may be very beneficial.

4. Move on!

Regular physical activity is essential to improve circulation and remove excess fluid accumulated in the legs.

Walk at least 20 minutes daily or if you prefer opt for a sporting activity.

Swimming, water gymnastics and cycling are very marked.

Few tips…

  1. Avoid very hot baths.
  2. End bath directing the jet of cold water into the legs from the bottom up to activate the movement.
  3. Avoid staying long hours standing or sitting.
  4. Avoid crossing your legs, this is a very feminine gesture but prevents proper circulation.
  5. Do not wear tight clothes. Pants and shoes if compressed too much, worsen blood circulation and promote the swelling of the lower extremities.
  6. In winter half of "compression" will help reduce edema.
  7. Place a pillow at the foot of the bed and sleep with your legs slightly elevated.

    The best thing that I have found for my legs is undoubtedly cycling. Cycling is such a great workout for the legs, it helped me lose a bunch of weight (without even trying), it toned my legs, and even helped improve circulation so much that it got rid of my spider veins!
