Many people ignore edema until it becomes a serious health problem. It is often an indicator of a serious disorder. Edema occurs when the body cannot flush fluid out of the body.

Edema can be caused by a local cause, such as a blockage of the lymphatic system, or a systemic one, like kidney failure.

Water retention can be normal before periods or during pregnancy. The cause should be thoroughly investigated in any case.

When the thumb is used to apply pressure, the affected area will show pitting. The affected area appears shiny, swollen, and extremely painful at the slightest touch.

In severe cases of edema, diuretics are administered.

Salt and fluid intake should be limited. Swelling can be reduced by elevating the feet with a pillow while sleeping.

Many natural products, such as barley, have diuretic qualities. These herbal products can be used to treat the condition safely and naturally.
