Swollen legs: what natural remedy?

Hi, I would like to know if there is any natural diuretic that relieves the swelling I have from the ankles to the knee, which comes to me only in the summer, with the heat, my diet is vegan, I do not use drugs even though I suffer from hepatitis c. I have tried several natural remedies but to no avail. Thanks in advance, Renèe

thanks for the answer .. yes the pressure is under control 120-80 130-90 the maximum that can be reached .. can you give me some advice? What natural diuretic [non-drug] can I use on? Thanks Renèe

Good evening lady, if you have no particular circulatory or heart problems and do not take anticoagulant drugs or the like, I would recommend the titrated dry extract of Melitol which is both a venous and draining tonic. However, always consult a doctor before starting any therapy, even natural.

Thanks a lot for the answer

Good morning Renèe, since she seems attentive to her diet, I would exclude the food problem or that due to an excess of drugs while instead it could be associated with other pathologies such as venous, renal, cardiac insufficiency … I would also visit an Angiologist as well. the specialist could enter into the merits. In the meantime, I would advise her when taking a shower to alternate jets of cold water starting from the ankles up to the groin, so that the vasoconstriction caused by the cold reactivates the circulation. Introduce into your diet fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, more spices, less salt and if you can (I have a liter bottle of green tea on my desk in my study every day) you consume a lot of green tea which is also excellent antioxidant. He will see that some benefit will come. Naturopath Consultant. Monica Veneziano

Hi Renèe, my advice is absolutely vegan in origin. I know your diet very well and can recommend moringa oleifera. Here on natural cures I have published several in-depth articles. The aspect of great interest for her is that Moringa, in the form of natural supplementation, is certified VeganOk, therefore it would have no ethical limit in the intake of the plant which, inside the capsules, is 100% natural with drying for air. I hope it was useful to you and obviously you drink a lot.

Good morning extracts of Centenella Equiseto Horse chestnut and Witch hazel are refreshing and anti-fatigue for feet and legs, obviously giving well-being in the absence of more serious pathologies Sonia

I also had problems with swelling in my legs and now I am using the Fly Plus Nutre, recommended by my nutritionist and I have finally had relief. He advised me to take 70 drops diluted in 1.5 liters of water (with low fixed residue) as Plose water in Sant ‘Anna and in addition he advised me to add 2 squeezed lemons (to bring the potassium citrate contained in the lemon that promotes the excretion of sodium chloride)
