How Does it Help my Problem?
Foot and Leg Comfort Cream was not designed to help with any particular illness or medical condition, but it is a powerful resource to fight the discomforts often suffered from the lower extremities. If your feet are fatigued, swollen, or achy due to a long day of walking or sitting for a long period of time, the natural ingredients in the cream will have a soothing effect that helps encourage healthy blood circulation for maximum relief.
The flow of blood from the upper body into the lower extremities is crucial to your overall health and well being. When blood circulation slows, your leg muscles and feet do not receive the nutrients and healthy cells needed for proper functioning. This typically occurs when plaque collects inside your arteries and narrows the passageway. The result is a condition known as peripheral artery disease. If you suffer from this disease, you may notice some or all of these symptoms:
- Cold toes
- Numbness in your legs and/or feet
- Limp sensation in the legs
- Knee or leg aches
- Muscle cramps
- Muscle spasms
The cold sensation associated with peripheral artery disease is typically felt in the toes because that is the furthest point from your heart. The more the arterial walls narrow, the more difficult it becomes for the heart to pump blood all the way to your toes. This is why your feet may feel cold even when it is warm in your surrounding environment. If you notice these symptoms you should consult your doctor for further diagnosis and treatment.
Peripheral artery disease can be caused by a variety of factors, including an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking cigarettes, and diabetes. When it occurs in people over the age of 40 or 50, it is often the result of a lifetime of unhealthy habits or a side effect of diabetes. Read the Healthy Tips at the bottom of this page. You will find that a focus on a Healthy life style can improve your quality of life in many ways.
Along with a healthy lifestyle, Foot and Leg Comfort Cream is a safe, natural way to stimulate your improve circulation throughout your feet and legs. Ingredients such as coriander fruit oil have been historically used to help improve circulation while ingredients like whole leaf aloe vera and arnica Montana flower extract have been used as natural remedies to help fight inflammation and swelling.
Other ingredients soothe irritated skin and ease tired, sore muscles for overall relief of any discomforts you may feel in your legs or feet. If you suffer from dry, cracked, or dehydrated skin, you can count on ingredients like emu oil, purified water and MSM to help moisturize and soothe the skin. When used on a daily basis, you can keep your skin well hydrated which brings relief from dryness, cracks and other irritations.

Healthy Tips
When your feet or legs are uncomfortable, your entire life will be uncomfortable. Since you depend on this part of your body to carry you through the motions of daily life, any discomfort can interfere with your mobility. If your skin is dry or otherwise irritated, it can make wearing long pants or going out in the sunshine unbearable. From cooking dinner to playing with your grandchildren, playing golf or going on vacation, everything you do depends on healthy legs and feet.
There are some things you can do to take care of this important part of your body. The following tips will help you correct any unhealthy habits you may currently have while adding new habits that can protect your legs and feet from future discomfort.
Quit Smoking
Smoking is one of the contributory factors of peripheral artery disease because it contributes to the collection of plaque inside the arteries. That plaque is what narrows the path inside the artery and slows down the passage of blood.
There are many smoking cessation programs available. You can now use electronic cigarettes that allow you to mimic the action of smoking without taking in the unhealthy smoke that comes with tobacco cigarettes. This can sometimes be a good transition from smoking to not smoking.
Eat a Healthy Diet
If you are going to do one thing for the health of your feet and legs, it should be to start selecting the healthiest foods possible for your body. Healthy foods are those that provide the nutrients your body needs to function properly without overloading your system with artificial sweeteners, sugar, unnatural pesticides, saturated fat, trans fat, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). When you consume a diet of fried, fatty, unhealthy foods, you put your body at risk for many devastating conditions:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Cancer
- Peripheral artery disease
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Inflammation
You don't have to drop all of your favorite foods and start eating dry, bland foods that you don't enjoy. It is easier to start making substitutions so you slowly adapt to a healthier diet. For instance, you may start to eat fresh fruit instead of ice cream or other sweets. You may substitute lean ground turkey for ground chuck. Green tea with a natural sweetener can take the place of sugary sweet tea.
As you start to move toward healthier food choices, you will notice less swelling and general discomfort throughout your body. This will include changes in your feet and legs as they start to receive more of the nutrients they need to function properly.
Live an Active Lifestyle
Just as you can make simple substitutions to change your diet for the better, you can substitute behaviors to create a more active lifestyle. For instance, you can choose to march or jog in place rather than sitting down while watching television. You can choose to turn on your favorite music and dance in the afternoon rather than taking a nap. You can choose to go for a walk after dinner rather than rocking on the front porch.
Bouncing lightly on a small inside trampoline is excellent for circulation, just start lightly and don’t lose your balance.
The more you move your body, the healthier you can expect your blood circulation to become. Also, the more you move your body, the easier it will become to control your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other important factors of a healthy body. Add exercise into your life and you will notice you have more energy to enjoy the rest of your day and you feel happier in general.
You should talk to your doctor before starting any type of exercise program, but you also should not feel discouraged from adding exercise into your life. Your mind and body are stronger than you know. Remember Foot and Leg Comfort is invigorating before exercise and soothing after.
Drink Water
A significant part of your body is made up of water, and there are serious consequences of dehydration. You may feel less energetic and more irritated when your body is low on moisture, and your skin can easily become dried out and itchy. Dehydration can also interfere with your active lifestyle and cause complications with many medical conditions. The solution is simple: drink water daily throughout the day as much as possible.
Massage and Stretch
If you have someone else available, ask them to give your legs, ankles and feet a massage whenever possible. You can also give yourself a massage while sitting in a comfortable position with your legs stretched out in front of your body. Work your hands into your muscles and rub over your skin until your legs and feet feel relaxed and energized. You can do this while applying your Foot and Leg Comfort Cream.
Before bed and first thing in the morning, perform simple stretches for the muscles in your legs. You can also try picking up pencils, marbles or other small objects with your toes to stretch them out. Something as simple as raising up on your toes to stretch your calves can be effective at improving circulation and keeping your leg muscles strong. This exercise is often recommended to avoid foot and leg cramps.
Recent Studies Prove Traditional Remedies Work
Research into the benefits of using natural products to cure the many aches and pains that human bodies suffer has been going on for generations. Some of the ingredients that make Foot and Leg Comfort Cream so powerful have been used for medicinal purposes since the 1900s, and others have been used for medicinal benefits since the 1500s and even earlier. Take a look at what science has recently discovered about some of the best ingredients in this cream:
- The research into the powerful benefits of aloe vera dates back to the 1960s, if not earlier. These studies have concluded that aloe vera can soothe and reduce pain for burn victims, and that is why it is commonly used in sunburn treatments and other skin irritations today.
- Research is also proving that emu oil has incredible anti-inflammatory potential that can be used for a variety of health and wellness applications in the human body. One study at the University of Massachusetts found that the anti-inflammatory qualities grew even stronger when the emu oil was put through advanced refinement procedures. Other studies have proven that this oil contains an exceptional profile of healthy fatty acids that are also beneficial to the human body. Studies into this oil will continue and other benefits are likely to be found.
- Stinging nettle extract is a counter irritant that has been used for soothing relief for thousands of years. It was first popularized in Europe during the medieval period, but today it is an acceptable ingredient in many products.
- Witch hazel has been used by Native Americans to treat muscle aches and treat irritated skin. It continues to be used widely in the modern world to soothe the skin and relax muscles for greater overall comfort.
In the news…
On July 18, 2013, ABC News released a story exclaiming that scientists are coming closer to understanding how aloe vera can reduce inflammation, soothe burnt skin, and overcome many skin irritations. The report noted that this natural plant ingredient does not need the magic of modern medicine to work because the healing properties are contained within the gooey substance that comes out of the plant by force of nature.
There are many theories that have been developed and tested over the years to explain why aloe vera is so powerful for human skin. Though the answers are not completely known, the soothing and healing properties of the plant are well accepted in the modern world.
