@askdrveera: So many people are walking around with swollen feet, puffy ankles, and legs that feel so heavy they feel like they’re elephant legs. If your legs and ankles feel heavy or waterlogged, then this is for you! What you’re looking at is called pitting edema and it happens to a lot of people! Some people have congestive heart failure, where their circulation isn’t great, and so the fluid just keeps accumulating in their legs. All of them were told to wear compression socks, but they’re not told why or what else they can do. So if this is you or someone you love, get your leg elevated above your heart when you’re sleeping, get your legs up whenever you’re sitting down, but otherwise you have to start moving! But I would really like you to do is to find somebody who’s older that you love and do this for them. The reason you see me focusing so much on hands and feet is because we lose our freedom for self care without usage of those two things. #healing #massage #wellness #SelfCare
