🧄 3. Garlic & Ginger Infused Tonic
Why it works:
Both garlic and ginger stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and help flush retained fluids from tissues.
Recipe:
-
2 cloves garlic, crushed
-
1-inch piece of ginger, sliced
-
2 cups of water
Instructions:
Simmer garlic and ginger in water for 10–15 minutes. Strain and drink warm. Optionally, add a teaspoon of honey for taste.
🍵 4. Dandelion Leaf Tea
Why it works:
Dandelion acts as a natural diuretic and is rich in potassium, which helps balance sodium levels in the body.
Recipe:
-
1–2 teaspoons dried dandelion leaves
-
1 cup boiling water
Instructions:
Steep the dandelion in hot water for 5–10 minutes. Strain and enjoy 1–2 cups daily.
🌿 Bonus Tip: Eat More Potassium-Rich Foods
Foods like bananas, sweet potatoes, spinach, and avocados help regulate fluid balance and counteract sodium-induced swelling.
⚠️ Note of Caution:
While these remedies can be helpful for minor bloating or water retention, persistent or painful swelling may signal an underlying health condition such as kidney, heart, or liver issues. Always consult a healthcare provider if you experience chronic or unexplained swelling.
