Using Natural Diuretics

Water retention or fluid retention, also known as edema, is the accumulation of fluid in spaces between the cells in the soft tissue of the body. This can occur anywhere in the body but, because of gravity, often appears in the feet, ankles, and legs. Natural diuretics are food, herbs, or minerals that increase urine flow and aid in removing excess fluids from the body, thereby alleviating the swelling or puffiness that accompanies water retention.
