How to Relieve Swollen Legs (Part 1)

A simple beauty rule: take care of swelling before the day ends.

Before going to bed, lie down and gently raise your legs straight up toward the ceiling. This helps encourage blood and fluid that have collected in the lower body to flow back toward the upper body, supporting healthier circulation.

While your legs are elevated, slowly rotate your ankles and repeatedly open and close your toes. These gentle movements help stimulate circulation and encourage lymphatic flow.

By doing this before sleep, your body can more easily release built-up fluid overnight—so you wake up feeling lighter, refreshed, and more comfortable.
