I periodically retain fluid in my feet, esp. right one a little around the ankle but mostly top of foot & toes

Question

What could be causing this? I'm 52 and have asthma, otherwise healthy I think. Does anyone know of any homeopathic remedies for this fluid retention?

Answer 1

It would be better to have your problem diagnosed by a Dr. and see what's causing the swelling. Only then can you do anything about it. It could be a sideaffect of medication or heart problems.

Answer 2

Decrease your salt intake.  You can also buy an OTC medicine to help decrease fluid retention.  They are relatively inexpensive and can be found at the local Wal Mart.

Answer 3

Check with your doctor.

What works is low impact exercise like slow walking, soaking feet in epsom salt, and eating a little less salt.

Eat plenty of cucumbers, carrots, and celery, because they pull extra fluid out of the body.

Answer 4

synovial fluid?
