    Exercise such as walking is good for peripheral neuropathy as it improves circulation to the feet. Massaging the feet also increases circulation

    After walking, immediately change out of your shoes and socks, allowing the shoes to dry.
    Soak your feet in cool water - do not use ice.

    For aching feet, make yourself an Herbal Foot Bath or rub a peppermint lotion or salve on your feet. Wrap a warm towel around your feet and enjoy.
