Seek Natural Treatment For Edema

February 1, 2009

Hi everyone. I have been a member of this board for several

years, but have a problem. I have a sister in law who has congestive

heart failure, and now has edema with both legs swelling a lot below

the knee. She has taken water pills, and juniper berry tea sometimes

for water retention. Based on what I could find on the internet I

recommended she take nettle herb in capsule form to alleviate the

edema. I talked to her today and she says she is not improved. Anyone

got any advice as to a natural treatment that might help? Blessings,

Belial the Uncouth.

Yes, I take care of an elderly woman and rub her feet and lower legs twice a

week. Her legs and feet have transformed from huge to petite. She needs to drink

lots of water after and must be prepared to use the bathroom ALOT. When she had

a severe case and she had oozing sores she got what is called Oona boots. This

is wrapping of the legs and feet and can be bothersome to the patient because

with the swelling it can get very tight. They were applied by home nursing. The

patient would remove them and rather have the hour and a half foot rubs twice a

week. It really works.
