Edema: 10 home remedies to reduce water retention!!

8. Massage
Gentle massage of the swollen area can help stimulate circulation and encourage fluid movement. Use upward strokes to promote lymphatic drainage and move fluid away from the swollen area.

9. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is thought to help balance the body’s potassium and sodium levels, which may reduce water retention. To use ACV, mix 1–2 tablespoons with a glass of warm water and drink it once a day. Make sure to dilute it well to avoid irritation to the stomach or esophagus.

10. Hydrate Properly
It may seem counterintuitive, but drinking plenty of water can help reduce water retention. When the body is dehydrated, it tends to hold onto water, worsening swelling. Drinking sufficient water throughout the day helps to flush out excess sodium and toxins from the body, promoting healthy fluid balance.
