Hello, Being on or off your feet for extended periods of time, as well as heat, can cause swollen feet, ankles and legs. Massaging these areas in an upward motion with essential oils, such as geranium, lemon, rosemary and juniper can help. The skin absorbs the beneficial ingredients in the oil, thus making it able to enter the bloodstream and travel to the kidneys, stimulating the kidneys to excrete excess fluid. Do not use this method if you are pregnant or have kidney problems.
