A great home remedy for edema is to take homemade carrot syrup with honey daily as it has diuretic properties. See the recipe:
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup of water (optional)
Method of preparation
Just beat the carrot in the blender with the water until smooth and then mix the honey. Let stand for a few hours, cover and set aside. Take 3 tablespoons of this syrup a day before your main meals.
To complement, go on a diet by eating the least amount of salt possible. A good way to season salads without using salt is to use spices like thyme, basil and oregano, which give a great flavor, without having to resort to adding salt.
