Home Remedies for Foot Pain:
Foot pain is something that impacts on everyone from time to time, if not more often that this. So read on for some handy tips and hints of things you can do at home to reduce foot pain :-)
- For all types of foot pain, soreness and feelings of inflammation - try a warm foot soak. Fill a container of bucket with warm water, not too hot though as you do not wish to burn your feet and soak your feet in this for half an hour. You can also add 2-3 tablespoons of Epsom salts, which is a great healing agent or as alternative you can also create a natural foot soak
- Hot and Cold Treatment - If there is an inflammation in the foot then a hot and cold treatment can also help as it kick starts the body's immune system and also helps to remove the inflammation response in the body. Start with warm treatment first as it increases blood flow to the area, then use cold as it will constrict the blood vessels and reduce inflammation. Alternate between the two for several minutes.

- Cold Treatment - if you are also suffering with nerve pain then you can also just use the ice pack and place against the area that is sore for several minutes, this could reduce the inflammation in the nerve and help control the pain.
- If you have tired legs and feet to relief this fill a bucket with warm water and add peppermint oil, if you do not have this use a few peppermint teabags and let these soak for several minutes then add your feet. This will soothe your feet :-)
- Exercise your feet - this will strengthen the foot and help to reduce foot pain and injury
