Water Retention Treatment In Ayurveda - #4759
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with swelling in my feet and hands, which my doctor said is due to water retention. While they suggested some dietary changes, I’d like to explore water retention treatment in Ayurveda as a more natural and holistic approach. I’ve read that Ayurveda focuses on balancing doshas and eliminating excess fluids, but I’d like to know how effective it is for water retention. From what I’ve read, water retention treatment in Ayurveda often includes herbs like Punarnava, Gokshura, and Musta. How do these herbs work to reduce swelling and improve kidney function? Are there specific remedies or formulations recommended for water retention treatment in Ayurveda? Another thing I’m curious about is whether water retention treatment in Ayurveda includes Panchakarma therapies like Virechana or Basti. Can these detox treatments help with eliminating excess fluids and toxins? I’ve also heard that diet plays a big role in water retention treatment in Ayurveda – are there specific foods or drinks to include or avoid? If anyone has undergone water retention treatment in Ayurveda, how effective was it for your symptoms? Did the swelling reduce significantly, and how long did it take? Lastly, are there any side effects or precautions to consider while using Ayurvedic remedies for water retention?
