Edema's Dangers
Edema, the abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the tissues, can be caused by a number of conditions. These include congestive heart failure, chronic venous insufficiency or minor trauma to a body part. It is essential that you discuss this with your doctor, especially if you are currently taking medications. There are a number of natural ways to cope with edema, which can be taken advantage of ONLY after these more serious conditions are ruled out. So, check this out with your doctor and then you can proceed with safe, natural steps. In the meantime, elevate your legs whenever you sit down and definitely cut down on your salt intake as this causes you to retain extra water.
