Suggestions:
If symptoms are in hands/wrists: Cold compresses to wrists, wrist splints
Eat cucumber, nettle, dandelion greens (diuretics)
Supplement omega-3 fatty acids (reduces inflammation)
Note:
Reflexology is an alternative treatment modality that some women try for edema. Reflexology involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. It is believed that applying pressure at these points will stimulate specific areas, tissues, or organs of the body resulting in improved outcomes. Preliminary research suggests that reflexology can improve feelings of well-being and reduce stress, tension, discomfort, and pain. However, it does not seem to reduce edema.
