Home  Treatment:

   1. Apply cider vinegar:

Apple cider vinegar can be helpful in relieving tingling. In fact, according to a research published on the NCBI website, the use of apple cider vinegar was found beneficial in patients with varicose veins (a problem related to veins). The main objective of this research was to reduce its symptoms such as pain, swelling, tingling, cramping and other such symptoms in patients. This study revealed that external use of apple cider vinegar can have a positive effect on varicose patients. In such a situation, apple vinegar can prove useful to remove tingling in the hands and feet.

3.Cinnamon oil:

Talking about the benefits of cinnamon, it also includes improving blood circulation in the body. In particular, cinnamon oil may be helpful in improving blood circulation in the hands and feet. At the same time, we have already told that lack of proper blood circulation in the organs can also be a reason for tingling. In such a situation, the use of cinnamon can be beneficial to prevent or deal with this situation. For this reason, cinnamon is considered a remedy for tingling in the hands.

 4. Exercise:

A lack of proper exercise can weaken the heart and blood vessels, reducing their ability to pump blood to the lower limbs. Activities such as yoga, Pilates, and tai chi can promote blood flow and reduce chronic inflammation or pain.

  5.Supportive devices:

Braces and specially designed footwear can help reduce nerve pressure caused by conditions such as injury, tarsal tunnel syndrome, or flat feet

  6.Alcohol reduction or avoidance:

Alcohol contains toxins that can cause nerve damage and numbness. Alcohol also usually makes the symptoms of chronic pain and inflammatory conditions worse and can even cause flare-ups of symptoms.

  7. Rest:

Many of the conditions that cause leg and foot numbness, such as nerve pressure, improve with rest.

   8. Ice:

Ice can help reduce swelling that can put pressure on nerves. Apply cold compresses or wrapped icepacks to numb    legs and feet for 15 minutes at a time several times daily.

   9. Heat:

Heat can sometimes help loosen stiff, sore, or tense muscles that can put pressure on nerves and cause numbness.    However, avoid overheating numb legs and feet, as this may or worsen inflammation and cause pain and numbness.
