Natural Remedies for Poor Circulation in the Legs

Modified on Mar 22, 2023 | Earth Clinic Team

Poor leg circulation, or peripheral artery disease (PAD), occurs as arteries narrow and reduce blood flow to the limbs of your body. As a result, your blood cannot keep up with the demands of your body and can cause pain (usually in the legs).

Bad circulation results from fatty deposits accumulating in the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can also reduce blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise are common causes of poor circulation.

Poor circulation symptoms include leg pain while walking, cramping in arms or legs after activity, cold feet, calf pain, leg numbness or weakness, hair loss or slow hair growth on legs, sores on feet or legs that won't heal, slow toenail growth, and erectile dysfunction in men.
