Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

I have that same feeling of warmth and tightness. I started wearing croc Sandler with a nubby pattern and 2 days ago I started using a frankincense and myrrh look that I read about for foot neuropathy. The sandals definitely help when I wear them and I feel like things feel better with the essential oils. Any relief is a food relief 😊

Hi @debi111, Welcome to Connect. Thanks for sharing what helps you. I only have the numbness with my small fiber peripheral neuropathy. Years ago when I first started researching what might help I tried several combinations of essential oils on my feet but they didn't help with my numbness. Feet did smell better though and I guess that counts for something 🙂 I'm glad the sandals help. They do look interesting. Here's some research I found on essential oils that is kind of interesting if nothing else.

How long have you had neuropathy?

Reflexology helps greatly. Also using frankincense or lemon grass mixed with capsaicin cream twice daily. Also, currently in third week of acupuncture program with electrodes added for greater stimulation of nerves. Hard to know which is helping most but definite difference noticed in balance and fatigue in legs and feet.
