The human heart pumps about 5 quarts of blood per minute,
circulating oxygen, water, and nutrients into the capillaries. The blood floods
the vessel walls to reach all the bodies tissues.
When circulation is poor, fluid will build up in the tissues
which is the condition called “edema”. The cause of edema can be a blocked flow
of blood, an injury to the lymphatic or blood vessels, surgery, or trauma to
the blood vessels.
Circulatory or kidney disease, tumors, and metabolic disorders
all can hinder blood flow and cause edema. One of the most common causes of
edema is cardiac insufficiency which is a condition in which the heart muscle
is unable to pump or receive enough amounts of blood as a result fluid builds
up in the tissues and causes edema.
There are natural medicinal plants that are diuretics and
can be taken to promote drainage of the tissues.
Horsetail, goldenrod, dandelion and parsley are all excellent
herbs and can be taken in tea or tincture form, which is stronger since it is concentrated.

Interesting health article.Exercise also promotes good circulation.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and there are several herbal extracts that work for circulation as well. I take witch hazel, garlic, and ginger in an extract form.
ReplyDeleteI prefer pear cider and ibruprofen, though Irn Bru is reportedly most efficacious.
