Edema Treatment:
Edema is a condition that occurs when fluid leaks from the capillaries and accumulates in the tissues.
Edema can be a localized or general condition, both of which will have an effect on your daily life.
In many cases, edema may be related to conditions such as liver disease, congestive heart failure, or kidney disease.
Acupuncture for edema has been found very effective and research showing that acupuncture causes an increase in lymphatic function and a reduction in swelling.
Acupuncture can also help by stimulating local circulation, correcting imbalances of blood flow, which helps relieve the swelling.
Acupuncture has been used as a treatment for edema for centuries. It is believed that the insertion of needles into specific acupuncture points can help reduce swelling and fluid retention in the body.
During an acupuncture session, practitioners insert needles into certain areas of the body, such as the hands and feet. These areas are believed to be associated with the flow of energy throughout the body.
The needles help stimulate these pathways, which may reduce inflammation and promote healing. Acupuncture may also be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as naturopathy, massage or herbal supplements, to help improve circulation and reduce edema symptoms.
