A localized or systemic condition in which the body tissues contain an excessive amount of fluid. Systemic edema can be as mild as premenstrual water retention (I mean mild by comparison) or involve loss of blood proteins or kidney and heart failures. Local edema is the result of extensive or extended inflammation, with blood protein leakage and the loss of interstitial colloid.
Fluid retention by the body causing swelling and discomfort
Edema is an affection in which the fluid gets trapped between the cell walls and which causes chronic pains and joint weakness.
Edema may be caused by a number of things, such as standing too long or having an unhealthy diet, based on salty foods mostly.
This is a common problem among pregnant women and, although in folklore there are many remedies, the traditional medicine advices against them.
However, alternative medicine practitioners think that you shouldn’t avoid them and, on the contrary, give them a try and, if they don’t work, rush out to the pharmacy.
How Tea for Edema Works
A Tea for Edema’s main goal is to make all of your cells improve their action and flush away the unnecessary fluid. Of course, this requires ingesting a tea that has diuretic and purgative properties.
If you’ve tried a tea to induce sweat or a decoction for constipation, you may want to take it again. The difference is that edema is a much serious condition and therefore needs to be treated more seriously.
Efficient Tea for Edema
When choosing a Tea for Edema, you must keep in mind two things: it must be safe and it must be one hundred percent safe (edema is a mild affection and you don’t want unnecessary complications).
However, if you’re suffering from pulmonary edema (which is a water retention in your lungs), it’s best to ask for medical assistance right away. But if you don’t know which Tea for Edema fits best your condition, here’s a list to choose from:
- Garlic Tea – it has a rather unpleasant taste and it doesn’t smell prettier either. You may want to add ginger, mint, lemon or honey to make it more adequate. This Tea for Edema will absorb all unwanted fluids and calm the affected areas. Don’t take more than 2 cups per day in order to avoid digestive tract complications.
- Dandelion Tea – has purgative and diuretic properties thanks to which your body will be able to eliminate the water surplus and restore your original health. You can also take it to treat diarrhea, constipation or to induce sweat.
- Bilberry Tea – not as popular as the other Teas for Edema, this wonderful decoction is very efficient, but not very safe. It’s true that you can see the results within days, but it’s best to talk to your doctor before making any move. Bilberry Tea is rich in acids and therefore it may cause uterine contractions.
- Green Tea – in small dosages, Green tea can treat almost any affection. Be careful, though. It’s not recommended if you are experiencing some menstrual or menopausal symptoms. Green Tea is also a good remedy for asthenia, anemia, sore throats and general weakness.
Tea for Edema Side Effects
When taken properly, these teas are generally safe. However, exceeding the number of cups recommended per day may cause diarrhea, headaches, vomiting and nausea.
If you’ve been taking one of these teas for a while and you’re experiencing some unusual reactions, talk to your doctor immediately. Do not take a treatment based on a tea for Edema if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, on blood thinners or anticoagulants. The same advice if you’re preparing for a surgery.
Once you have your doctor’s ok on the matter, choose a Tea for Edema that fits you best and enjoy its wonderful benefits!... tea for edema
