My sister is 2 weeks away from her delivery, her feet swell up a lot, the doc says there is nothing to worry..any homemade remedies beside oil massage, to put her to ease?

Your sister can try wearing compression socks at home. I did and it helped so much, and I didn't get random late night leg cramps either. During pregnancy, the volume of blood in your body increases and the hormone progesterone causes your blood vessels to relax. As your weight increases, the veins in your legs are subjected to greater pressure. All these factors make it difficult for the blood in your leg veins to flow properly back to the heart, and varicose veins may develop. Compression stockings help to apply pressure to your legs and improve the blood circulation from the legs back to the heart. I got mine at Spring Maternity at about $50. http://www.springmaternity.com/sg/preggers-core-spun-casual-socks-20-30mmhg-black

Essential oils like cypress oil are good for circulation and varicose veins. Lavender oil and camomile oil may ease your discomfort and make you feel more relaxed. Ask your partner to massage your feet and legs gently, using a base oil such as grapeseed with one or two drops of essential oil. Ask him to work upwards from your feet to your knees, using both his hands. However, if your legs are excessively swollen and the skin is very tight, this may be too painful for you. You can also add essential oil to a bowl of warm water and soak your feet in it. You could also try simple exercises like circling your ankles and stretching them out gently. http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a549316/swelling-natural-remedies#section3
