Fluid retention in the body is known as edema. It is usually due to some underlying reason and in some cases it can be physiological. It can happen in various areas of the body and is sometimes caused by inflammation, sodium retention, lymphatic obstruction or interstitial pressure disturbances. Edema cure depends on treatment of the underlying cause and targeting that area.
Disturbances in the pressure of the capillaries can cause fluid to leak into the surrounding tissue. The excretory system compensates for this loss by retaining fluid and this leads to more leakage and an excess of fluid in the body. Some of the causes of this condition are excess amounts of sodium, long periods of sitting, extreme temperature, congestive heart failure and it can occur during pregnancy.
Where blood vessels or lymph nodes are lacking, poor lymphatic drainage is noted. Some of the most common places this condition occurs is in the ankles and legs and is prevalent during pregnancy. Deep vein thrombosis, congestive heart failure and kidney problems all exhibit this problem. When the kidneys are involved a person will have swelling around their eyes and in their legs as well.
There is also pain in the area due to one's skin stretching and it appears to be distended and shiny. Pitting is noticed when pressure is applied to the swollen part. It can also occur within the body on internal organs like the heart and lungs.
A doppler study of the lower limbs will be ordered if deep vein thrombosis is suspected to be the underlying cause and an x-ray of the chest will be done if pulmonary edema is suspected. Abnormalities of the kidneys and liver can be observed through a CT scan or an ultrasound. To assess the heart an echocardiogram will be done. Specific cause and the area affected will be studied to make a proper diagnosis, patterns of the way it looks, the length of time it lasts and the onset are all taken into consideration.
After identification is made treating the symptoms are the next step. Mild to moderate exercise is recommended to move the fluids from the affected area and a low sodium diet is advised. Elevating the feet above the heart is recommended and elevating the foot of the bed for sleeping will assist in getting a good night's rest.
Diuretics offer temporary relief, but natural medicine modalities teach your kidneys, lymph system and bladder to function optimally. Ayurvedic herbal remedies work by using ingredients that safely and swiftly eliminate excess fluid from the body. Symptoms are relieved such as bloating, pitting and swelling.
The body is provided with biotechnological imprints of healthy bladder and kidney tissue to teach the organs to function optimally. The lymphatic system is taught to drain properly and prevent accumulation of fluid. The herbs help to maintain interstitial pressure and the fluids within them are balanced. By correcting the root cause an edema cure will be found quickly bringing lasting relief. By treating the entire body, looking for natural solutions and appealing to the natural balancing forces results will be quick and lasting.
