Feet and Ankle Swelling

[Guest guest]

Good morning

 

The following is part of an email note from a friend who is having a

problem with swelling. She talkes about a blockage, but I don't know

if it is a physical blockage or what she means by that. Any

suggestions will be apprecated.

 

" I need some suggestions from you concerning the swelling in my feet

and ankles. have a blockage that is causing the swelling. It has

come to the point that it is becoming very painful and my feet and

legs feel like I am moving with ankle weights when I walk. Is there a

flower essence or herbal remedy? "

 

Thanks in advance

 

Namaste

Hi Rita,

 

She really needs to see a physician for something that serious. In

general, after she has been diagnosed and helped with the major problem

I find rosemary in a foot soak and lotion to be very nice for swelling

of ankles and legs, BUT, it sounds like she has a serious condition that

needs to be addressed before she starts to " band-aid " the symptoms in

any way.

 

In our group links section, in the Alternative Healing Links folder, I

have listed links to aid folks in finding anthroposophic physicians and

classical homeopaths around the country ....

Rita,

Alternate footbaths, cold warm, cold ( always ending with cold ) ! will

help.

I sit at the edge of the tub, hang my feet under the spigot and switch

temps.

Supplements of grapeseed antioxidents , scotch broom, chestnut, wll help

to better circulation.

However, swollen ankles etc. indicate a heart condition and it needs to

be checked out.
