Summary

If you have poor circulation in the legs and feet, you might experience the following: edema, swelling, painful feet, and cramps in the feet and calves.

According to Dr. Stephen Hussey, author of "Understanding the Heart," the heart spins the blood, acting as a mechanism to create structured water. Similar to the way a tree pushes water up from the roots, increasing structured water throughout the circulatory system can improve circulation.

You can increase structured water in your blood with infrared. Over 50% of the sun's energy is infrared! Increasing sun exposure can help improve the circulation in your legs and your heart function.

Infrared increases nitric oxide, which supports the arteries and healthy blood pressure. Vitamin D from the sun also increases nitric oxide.

If you have edema in the feet, potassium is one of the best natural diuretics for getting rid of excess fluid. Eliminating sugar and starches from your diet can also stop fluid retention, especially in the lower extremities. High sugar consumption depletes vitamin B1. If you’re experiencing tingling and pain in the bottom of your feet, consuming benfotiamine—a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1—may help. Cramping in your legs and feet can also be related to a magnesium deficiency. For the best results, take 800 mg per day in the evening for several weeks. It’s also important to avoid compression socks, which can further restrict blood circulation.Diosmin is an excellent remedy for varicose veins. If you have varicose veins, edema, or any other problems with the lower part of your body, avoid intense exercise. Instead, aim for light exercise like walking and try these simple leg circulation exercises!

What about cold feet? Cold feet are generally caused by an iodine deficiency due to a low thyroid. Sea kelp is one of the best sources of iodine.

0:00.0	I was taught that the heart is the primary pump for all the circulation. But there's other data
0:05.0	to show that that's not quite true. I'm going to show you how to improve the blood flow through
0:09.3	your legs and your ankles and your feet. But there's many different problems that occur when you
0:13.4	have poor circulation. A demon swelling, painful feet as well. Cramps in the feet and the calves.
0:18.8	I'm going to cover all of these and then relate them to a really
0:21.5	simple solution. I'm also going to be covering several important exercises. This information is based on a
0:26.5	book called Understanding the Heart by Stephen Hussey. In one part of the book, he talked about trees.
0:32.1	How do trees pump this water from the roots all up to the leaves. They don't have hearts. What he has found
0:38.8	through a lot of scientific research is that the heart spins the blood. And when you put water
0:44.7	through a vortex and even underneath the earth you have moving water. Water always should move.
0:49.3	It shouldn't be sitting there. Really the theory of this is the heart is acting as a mechanism
0:53.2	to create structured water, to allow it to kind of go through the body. Now, we do know the heart is very,
0:59.6	very electrical. I mean, just think about what an EKG does, right? You're measuring the electrical
1:03.3	part of the heart. Part of the solution that he did is he started increasing more structured
1:08.4	water throughout his circulatory system. And so this leads us to
1:12.2	increase structured water in your blood. The best way to do that is to get more exposure from
1:19.1	infrared. Over 50% of the sun's energy is infrared. Infrared is just one little piece of the spectrum of light, which apparently has a lot of
1:29.9	healing. I mean, a lot of people are using infrared for all sorts of things, but you can also make it
1:34.6	to create more structured water in your circulation. More exposure to the sun is one important tip
1:40.6	to improve the circulation in your legs and improve your heart function. You can get an
1:45.0	infrared device. There's infrared saunas. You can even sit in front of a campfire or your fireplace.
1:51.1	You're going to get a good amount of infrared from that. Infrared also is a wonderful thing for your
