Eliminate foot pain with these simple tips

If your favorite shoes are causing you to get sore feet, you should probably check out the following tips that can bring you relief.

Try tying your shoes in a different way

Sometimes without even knowing it, you can tie your shoes the wrong way, leaving you with tired and sore  feet.  It is a good idea to avoid tightening the shoes too much, also do not let them sit too loose.

Have you tried putting straps on your high heels?

If you are used to wearing high-heeled shoes, but they are not as comfortable as you would expect them to be, then you may want to consider  putting straps on them, to increase your stability and safety  when walking.

Take breaks

If you are wearing tight shoes or high heels and have no choice but to get up all day, try to remember to  take breaks to let your feet relax and promote good blood circulation.

One idea is to lift your feet for five minutes to let the blood circulate better.

Try using gel inserts

Gel inserts are placed in the shoes to minimize the harsh impact on your feet when you have high heels. They are available in most stores, or in stores with shoe accessories.

Protect yourself from blisters

The best way to avoid foot pain is to prevent it.  If you suspect that your shoes will give you blisters, it is a good idea to wear a bandage or anti-blister socks to prevent your shoes from rubbing against your feet.

Are your shoes too tight?

This is a common problem for shoes made of fabric or leather. To solve this, place a zipper bag filled with water in the shoe, and then freeze it  to see if it expands the shoe to a more comfortable level. Another option is to put an extra insole in. Although this increases the risk of the shoe rubbing uncomfortably against your foot.

Natural Cures For Foot Pain

However often and inevitably it may occur, there are some natural treatments for  foot pain  that can  relax your feet and give you relief.

Saltwater footbath

A classic foot bath with Epsom salts or mineral salts is  still one of the best ways to relieve foot pain and prevent your skin from drying out and becoming hard.

Pour half a cup of salt into a bowl of warm water and dip your feet in it for 20 minutes.

Chamomile foot bath

Chamomile  has an anti-inflammatory and emollient effect that can quickly relieve foot pain. Take advantage of these benefits by making a liter of chamomile or two and  taking a foot bath for 20 minutes.

Another option is to place the used tea bags directly on your feet where you experience soreness.

Ginger-foot bath

Ginger is world-renowned for its powerful analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which are ideal for fighting a variety of ailments.

Make a tea with fresh ginger to relieve sore feet in minutes while relaxing the next day.
