A large amount of the general adult population can attest to some sort of foot pain in their lifetime. Workers that stand on their feet all day can be the hardest hit. Standing for long periods of time without rest can cause issues like bone spurs, bunions, and Plantar Fasciitis. Anyone suffering from pain in their feet long for natural relief from the soreness. Below, learn how to achieve a proper foot detox and relieve your feet from soreness.

3 Tips for Foot Pain Relief 

1. Wear Comfortable Shoes

High-heels and hard-bottom shoes may be your style of choice, but your feet could be aching for something better. Wearing proper shoes for the occasion will lend support to every joint, muscle, and tendon in your legs and feet. Have your feet measured every few years to prevent wearing ill-fitting footwear that will cause issues like deformed toes and calluses.

2. Watch Your Weight

Keeping a healthy weight has a multitude of benefits, including relief from foot pain. Gaining too many extra pounds puts extra pressure on your feet and changes the way they function. Studies show women with a high body mass index (BMI) have a greater propensity for foot joint pain than those in lower weight classes. Gaining a mere 10 to 20 pounds can increase the burden on your feet and trigger pain. Eat hearty vegetables and drink a lot of water to reduce swelling in your feet. 

3. Receive a Foot Detox

A relaxing foot bath is a great way to energize your feet after a long day. Toxins that build up in your body from foods, drinks, soaps, and even the air we breathe can be reduced with a relaxing foot detox. Soaking your feet in a pH balanced bath will have a soothing effect on your entire body and cleanse the toxins via electrolysis.
