Severe water retention with period, any natural way to alleviate? i already reduce sodium. does exercise and green tea help? does cranberry juice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water retention: Over the counter medications containing diuretics can help. Avoid caffeine, chocolate, alcohol & salt. Consider omega- 3 fatty acids, magnesium (supplementation or through diet) or black cohosh with your physician's approval. Sipping green tea can help as it has a diuretic effect. So can exercise.
