1. Pumpkin Juice
Pumpkin acts as a gentle diuretic, helping your body eliminate excess water and easing the heavy feeling in your legs.
Drinking half a glass of pumpkin juice daily can also lower the risk of heart- and kidney-related swelling. Plus, it supports healthy digestion.
2. Carrot Leaf Tea
Don’t throw away those carrot tops! They’re packed with benefits—promoting blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and strengthening blood vessels.
To make the tea, dry and chop the leaves, then steep one tablespoon in a cup of hot water for about 30 minutes. Drink it three times daily.
3. Oat Broth
Oats are a powerhouse grain with benefits ranging from improved digestion to lower blood pressure, and they can help with swelling, too.
Use two tablespoons of whole oats, rinse them, and steep them in 300 ml of boiling water. Let them soften, then drink this twice a day before meals for about a month.
4. Horseradish and Lemon Mix
Horseradish is known for its strong diuretic effect and can be useful for conditions like cystitis, gout, or kidney stones.
However, it’s best mixed with other ingredients to avoid irritating your stomach. Blend 2–3 whole lemons (with peel) with 120 grams of grated white horseradish and a bit of honey.
Take half a teaspoon twice daily, about 10 minutes before meals, for 2–3 weeks. Note: Avoid this remedy if you have a sensitive stomach.
