Unfortunately, most people don&#8217;t know <strong>what causes swelling<\/strong>, or how to treat it properly. In this article, find out <strong>what are the most common causes of swelling in the feet and legs<\/strong> and how <strong>to solve them naturally and safely<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u26a0\ufe0f Swelling is not a disease \u2013 it is a symptom!<\/h2>\n\n<p>Edema is not a disease in itself, but <strong>a warning to the body<\/strong>. If you neglect them, you may miss out on the opportunity for early diagnosis and treatment of serious conditions such as heart failure, kidney disease, venous thrombosis, and other disorders. <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udd0e The most common and dangerous causes of swelling<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Heart failure (congestive)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>When the heart <strong>can no longer pump blood efficiently<\/strong>, fluid is retained in the legs. This leads to swelling, a feeling of heaviness and pain.<br\/>\ud83d\udccc <em>Swollen legs can be the first sign of heart failure.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Vein diseases (venous thrombosis, thrombophlebitis)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Blood clots in the legs prevent normal circulation and cause:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>unilateral swelling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pain and tenderness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The possibility of pulmonary embolism<\/strong> \u2013 a life-threatening condition!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Kidney disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>When the kidneys are unable to filter fluid and toxins, fluid <strong>builds up in the lower extremities<\/strong>. It often goes unnoticed until serious damage has already occurred. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Liver diseases<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Liver diseases (e.g. cirrhosis, fatty liver) affect the level of protein in the blood, which causes <strong>fluid to be withdrawn into the tissues<\/strong> \u2013 first in the legs.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Medications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Many medications can cause edema:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>NSAIDs<\/strong> (e.g. Brufen, aspirin)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\n          <strong>Diabetes medications<\/strong>\n        <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hormonal therapy<\/strong><br\/>If you notice swelling, check the <strong>side effects of the medications you are using<\/strong>. Medication is a common, neglected cause. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Joint diseases \u2013 arthritis, osteoarthritis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Inflammation in the joints (knees, ankles) provokes local swelling. People with <strong>rheumatic or degenerative joint diseases<\/strong> often experience pressure and stiffness. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Poor diet and lack of minerals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Lack <strong>of potassium, magnesium and vitamin B6<\/strong> leads to water retention in the body. A diet poor in nutrients worsens the condition. <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddea How to recognize severe swelling?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Contact your doctor if:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&#8217;s a <strong>one-sided<\/strong> swelling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>comes suddenly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is accompanied by <strong>pain, redness or shortness of breath<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>does not shrink overnight<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>is accompanied by <strong>fatigue, shortness of breath or urination disorders<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf3f A natural approach to treating swelling<\/h2>\n\n<p>Instead of covering up the symptoms with medication, the goal is <strong>to find the cause and treat it naturally<\/strong>.
