Singling out the cause --
and cure -- for swelling Q: Both of my legs are very swollen below the knee. Do you know what might be causing it or if there's any way to make it go away? Dr. Wright: Your first step should be to see a doctor who can run tests to make sure it's not something serious, such as a weak heart, liver, or kidneys. If none of those things are at the root of your problem, you should also consider testing for other, less-serious possibilities including food allergies, insulin resistance, and Type II diabetes. If none of these things explain your swelling, and there's no other logical cause you may still be able to reduce it with horse chestnut supplements. Work with a physician skilled in herbal medicine who can help you find the best product and dose for your individual needs. To locate one in your area, contact the American Academy of Environmental Physicians at (316)684-5500 or www.aaemonline.org. **************************************************** To start receiving your own copy of the Health e-Tips, visit: http://www.wrightnewsletter.com/etips/freecopy.html Or forward this e-mail to a friend so they can sign-up to receive their own copy of the Health e-Tips. **************************************************** |
