[excerpt] The feet are the most used and abused part of your body. We are on our feet all day and we hardly make the time to rest and relieve our tired swollen feet. But the time has come to make your mover and take away the agony that your feet are going through. So read on to learn about ways by which you can relax and relieve your tired feet.
Roll your feet over a couple of chilled cans of drink straight from the fridge or use a cold mineral water bottle.
Spritz feet with a cooling foot spray, you can buy a mint foot spray and keep it in the fridge during hot weather and use it after a hot day outside to cool down your feet.
Rest your feet above your head for 10 minutes; do this by lying at right angles to a wall, or on the bed with your feet up on the headboard, or on the floor with your feet resting on the edge of a chair. Any swelling will disappear as trapped fluids travel back your legs towards your heart.
