Do you have swelling and puffiness in your legs and feet? Do you notice the fluid buildup in your legs and feet that is the cause behind the swelling. Long airplane flights or car rides, as well as standing for long periods of time, often lead to some temporary swelling in the feet and ankles. But if the swelling still remains after a few days, that could indicate you have a chronic swelling of feet and legs.
Because we stand on two feet as humans, the entire weight of the blood in our bodies is exerted on the veins in our legs. Fortunately, our veins have valves that help to return blood back to our heart from our legs. But as we grow older, the valves don’t function as well, and the blood in our legs is unable to return back to the heart, which causes the legs to swell with blood and fluid.
If pressing on your legs and feet leaves a pit, and the skin does not bounce back rightaway, that shows that you have blood and fluid retention in your legs and feet. This condition of swollen legs and feet is also known as edema. Some people think this is a small issue, but it can indicate deeper health problems such as heart disease, liver and kidney problems. Heart disease or heart failure can result in backup of blood in your legs. Heart disease often comes along with other symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing, fatigue or a fast heartbeat. Chronic liver disease can lead to a buildup of fluid in the legs and abdomen, along with other symptoms such as yellowed skin (jaundice), redness on the palms of the hands or pale-colored stools. Likewise, kidney disease can be accompanied by swelling in the lower extremities, as well as fatigue, needing to urinate more often or difficulty concentrating. Did you know that edema can be a side effect of some drug medications such as high blood pressure drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid drugs, estrogens (in birth control pills or hormone replacement drugs) and certain diabetes drugs. We recommend taking the natural route. As part of the treatment program at HijamaEnergetics, we perform hijama in order to draw out the excess blood and fluid from your legs and feet. Also, as part of the treatment we utilize PEMF therapy, also called Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. This helps to improve circulation and cell metabolism at a cellular level to relieve swelling effectively. PEMF therapy acts as a charger for your body system, giving your body cells enough energy to function properly. As a result, your blood circulation improves, the build-up of fluids gets transported out of the swelling area, and your edema goes away naturally.
