Home Remedies for Edema


1. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a well-known remedy to reduce edema symptoms. Being high in potassium, it helps replenish potassium levels in the body and reverse fluid retention. Moreover, its anti-inflammatory property helps reduce swelling and pain.
  • Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar to a glass of water. Drink it twice daily.
  • Another option is to soak a towel in a mixture of equal amounts of warm water and apple cider vinegar. Wrap the towel on the affected area for several minutes. Do this a few times daily.
2. Epsom Salt Bath
An Epsom salt bath can help you get rid of swelling, inflammation and pain due to edema. It draws out excess fluids and toxins from your body.

  • Mix 2 cups of Epsom salt in warm bathwater.
  • Soak in it for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Repeat up to 3 times a week.
