KO leg edema! Doing yoga "grinding wheat pose" is very effective

With many consecutive holidays, many people travel abroad. Have you ever had swollen feet after taking a long-distance flight and felt tight when putting on shoes? Or because of work, you need to sit or stand for a long time, resulting in frequent swelling of the calves. In fact, these are all symptoms of edema, and the legs are prone to edema. Practicing yoga hip rotation exercises, cycling exercises, and wheat mill poses can help eliminate the problem of leg edema.

Lower limb edema may be caused by heart or liver problems

Edema can be divided into local and systemic edema: local edema can be caused by local inflammation or local vascular and lymphatic vessel obstruction. Usually only one side of the limb is edematous, accompanied by redness, swelling, heat and pain. In addition to poor kidney function, lower limb edema may also be caused by problems with the function of organs such as the heart and liver. In addition to medical consultation and physical examination, blood drawing, abdominal ultrasound and other examinations are also needed depending on the patient's condition to help clarify the cause of the disease.
