What is a natural remedy for fluid retention?

Answer 1

this sounds silly but..drink alot of wter.. water cleans all the toxins like salt and sodium that makes us retain fluids... and also lettuce and celery are good for getting rid of fluids..also watermelon and cantalopes etc...and shy away from salt//di ya know that sodas have a tremendous amount of sodium aka salt in them?? caffeine etc will cause ya to retain fluids as well
so watch the labels and stay low on the sodium contents

Answer 2

Believe it or not, drinking the right amount of water can help with fluid retention. If you drink carbonated beverages like sodas and beer, the body tends to hold fluid because of the carbonation, sugars and acids.

Our bodies are mostly water, so water helps to keep our bodies cool and able to work the way they are intended too, by expelling extra fluids.

Have you checked with a doctor to be sure that you don't have high blood pressure or some other illness that might be causing you to swell? If that's the case, he / she might prescribe a diuretic for the fluid retention.

Excessive heat is another factor that causes swelling....sometimes we forget to drink more water and become dehydrated which will cause swelling also.

Depends on how old are you and why water is being retianed in your body.
If you have a medical problem, then you need to see you Doc. The problem could be heart problem, High blood pressure and some problem with you endocrine glands.
The other may be is you are female, sometime during the menstrual cycle they tend to retain water, that can taken care by walking or taking a water pill or drinking some rea or coffee, they also work like a water pill but no too much. When you know you are going to retain water, then reduce water intake. Walkina couple of miles a day will help you doing some execise where you move your legs will help.
So it all depends on you age, sex and if you have any medical problem.
