The massage journey should start from foot to groin region and never backwards. Along with the external therapy certain drugs like shatavari, ashwagandha etc are recommended.

Other advises like wearing of socks, keeping foot/leg raised while sleeping gives some relief. Certain elastics are available in the market as bandages are also to be tied at the affected parts. However the physician’s advice is necessary each time you follow those techniques.
