Tired Feet

Tired Feet.

Whenever possible rest with the feet raised above the level of the knees. A pillow at the foot of the bed between the sheets, with a hot-water bottle beneath, is comforting to tired feet.

Placing the feet and ankles in hot and cold water alternately is also a sure method of relieving tiredness. Begin with the hot water for about half-a-minute, then plunge the feet into cold water for the same period; repeat for about 15 minutes, then massage with your favourite ointment.
