Aromatherapy
Rest, compression, and elevation
Mild injuries can be treated with these three principals. Rest can reduce inflammation you experience if you walk or stand often. Keep in mind you shouldn't stop walking altogether, just take it easy when you can. Compression can also aid in reducing problems by supporting the leg better and reducing strain. Elevation can then engage circulation to your tissue and reduce swelling if you have any. Try to place your leg above where your heart is.
Nutrition
Finally, your diet could be playing a role in tissue issues. Try adding foods that are known to reduce inflammation. Some foods like ginger, apple cider vinegar, and collagen help with reducing inflammation. You can also consider herbs such as ashwagandha which is well known for reducing inflammation and promoting other health benefits!
