Home Remedies for Swollen Feet during Pregnancy

Home Remedies for Swollen Feet during Pregnancy. Swelling of the feet, also known as edema, can be a nightmare. Edema in the feet can occur at any stage of pregnancy, but it can get severe during the third trimester. For those with basic edema, there are a few ways to relieve the discomfort of your swollen tootsies. Here are the top 7 home remedies for swollen feet during pregnancy.

1. Enjoy Walking. Walking can help deal with swollen feet when you are pregnant. There is continuous contracting and pumping of the leg muscles when you walk.

2. Elevate Your Feet. Keeping your feet elevated can also help deal with swelling during pregnancy.

3. Massage Your Feet. Massage can be great for swollen feet and can also promote relaxation. Massaging with gentle strokes creates pressure on the affected skin and muscle areas.

4. Eat Potassium-Rich Foods. Foods high in potassium can help remove sodium from the body and maintain the salt-to-water ratio in the body. Sodium causes water retention, so eating potassium-rich foods can be very helpful to prevent or get rid of edema of the feet during pregnancy.

5. Increase Your Magnesium Intake. In many cases, water retention or swelling in the body can be due to a magnesium deficiency. In such a scenario, eating foods high in magnesium can help.

6. Practice Prenatal Yoga. Prenatal yoga also helps by improving circulation and reducing water retention.

7. Stay Hydrated. Most of the swelling in your feet during pregnancy is caused by an imbalance of sodium and water. Drink an ample amount of water to keep the body hydrated.
