Can Epsom Salt Water Be Used To Reduce Swelling In The Feet While Suffering From Hypertension?
If you have swollen feet, can you use epsom salt to soak your feet. I was told that if you have high blood pressure you could not do this. Can you please answer my question. The doctors know about this condition and they have told him to have his feet leveled to help with the swollen feet. I went to get the epsom salt, but the pharmachist told me that he could not use it. Confused????
Epsom salt water is useless and does not provide any relief.
If swelling is severe you have to consult a physician and get evaluated to rule out kidney diseases which can also cause similar symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
