holding water
I seem to be holding excessive water even though I am drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water every day. Is there anything you suggest as a natural diruretic? I am in week 5 and testing citrus. I know lemon juice can work, but didn't know if I should wait until after the 3 days.
Thanks,
Karen
If it is truly edema, I would feel more comfortable with you seeing your physician to determine the cause- edema does not come from drinking too much water, though...
Things you might want to try are dry skin brushing with a natural bristle brush (this stimulates lymph flow), watching your salt intake, and increasing your raw foods. A rebounder (a mini-trampoline like apparatus you jump on for exercise) is also excellent.
But again, if it is truly edema, you should have it checked out.

Dr. Winnie,
I have edema in my legs that won't go away. Could I be drinking too much water?
