Lymphedema signs and symptoms, lymphedema natural remedies

Condition analysis:
Being aware of early signs and symptoms of lymphedema is important in knowing when to seek medical treatment with a therapist who is specially trained to treat lymphedema. Early signs or symptoms may include a feeling of tightness or heaviness in the at-risk limb or swelling that seems to get worse by the end of the day. Your clothes may feel tighter or snug fitting. For lymphedema in the upper extremity, look for swollen fingers which may cause rings to feel tighter and the blood vessels at the top of your hand or your wrist may be less visible than the vessels in the unaffected arm.

Instructions:
1. Exercise – Regular daily exercise also helps to stimulate the lymph system aiding it in the removal of excess fluid.

2. Stockings – Visit your local lymphedema clinic and get a stocking for the affected limb.

3. Coffee enemas – When your liver is overloaded, your lymph system becomes sluggish and your body doesn’t carry out its functions as efficiently as it should so doing regular coffee enemas help to detoxify the liver and help the body to remove accumulated toxins.

4. Meditation – By carving out time to step away from people, your computer, work and the stresses of everyday life, you allow yourself the opportunity to connect with your spirit, the essence of your being. Hanging out in stillness helps to cultivate happiness with where you are and how your body looks.

5. Visualisation – In his book "How your mind can heal your body", my friend Dr David Hamilton shares many testimonials from people who have healed themselves using visualisation. What I find fascinating is the fact your body doesn’t know the difference between what is real and what is imaginary so if you can see yourself healed and go through the process of it healing / or the fluid draining out of your foot or finger and running down the drain while in the shower (for example), you greatly improve your chances of healing.
