Swollen feet can be more than just a minor discomfort after a long day — they may be a critical message from your body. Whether it’s due to diet, circulation, or an underlying health issue, swelling in the feet is a symptom worth paying attention to. This article explores a natural home remedy to help alleviate foot swelling while also providing insight into its possible causes.
