Because you have diabetes + BP + proteinuria, leg swelling is mostly due to water retention continue your doctor medicines. Do NOT stop them. Punarnava churna – 1 tsp with warm water Punarnavadi kwath – 15 ml + 15 ml warm water, twice daily Gokshuradi guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily 1 tsp Triphala in warm water (if constipation present) Local Remedy Keep legs elevated 20 minutes, 2–3 times daily Gentle massage with warm Dashmool oil upward direction Do not sit or stand long time

Since you have: ✅ Diabetes ✅ High BP ✅ Proteinuria ✅ Leg swelling (water retention) This is not simple swelling. It is most likely related to kidney stress + fluid retention. We must be careful. 🚨 First – Why Your Feet Are Swelling With diabetes + protein in urine: ➡ Kidneys leak protein ➡ Blood protein level drops ➡ Fluid moves into legs ➡ Swelling (edema) BP medicines can also contribute sometimes. Low salt helps, but if kidney filtration is weak, swelling may still continue. ⚠️ Important Questions Please answer: Is swelling more in evening? Does pressing finger leave a dent (pitting edema)? Any breathlessness? Recent kidney test (creatinine level)? Are you on diuretics (water tablets)? These answers matter. 🩺 What You Should Do Medically This requires monitoring, not just home remedy. Ask your doctor about: Serum creatinine eGFR Urine protein level Albumin level If proteinuria continues, treatment adjustment is needed. 🌿 Safe Supportive Measures (With Kidney Caution) Because you have proteinuria, avoid strong Ayurvedic diuretics without supervision. Safe general measures: ✔ Strict salt restriction (hidden salt also) ✔ Avoid packaged foods ✔ Elevate legs 20 minutes, 3 times daily ✔ Gentle ankle exercises ✔ Walk 20–30 minutes daily ✔ Check BP daily ⚠️ Avoid ❌ Punarnava without doctor guidance ❌ Heavy herbal decoctions ❌ Excess fluid intake ❌ Over-the-counter diuretics In kidney patients, wrong herbs can worsen condition.

–Your leg swelling is likely due to mild water retention. Keep following a low-salt diet, elevate your legs when resting, avoid standing for long periods, and watch your feet carefully for any sores. Since it hasn’t improved, we may need to check your kidney and heart function and review your medications. If swelling worsens, or you have shortness of breath, chest pain, or redness in your legs, come in immediately. — go with these tests first - Serum creatinine & eGFR Electrolytes (Na, K) Urine protein/albumin Echocardiogram BNP or NT-proBNP KFT
