• Diuretics during pregnancy

The problem of edema of various origins is very common among the population. Unfortunately, the absence of obvious edema visible to the eye on one or another part of the body is not a guarantee that they are not there - there are so-called latent edema, the danger of which is very high.

Edema in itself is not a separate pathology, but is part of a symptom complex characteristic of a particular disease or condition, of which there are many. Just as there are many causes of edema, there are many remedies and methods for dealing with them. And so a huge list of synthetic diuretics is replenished daily.

The purpose of this group of drugs is clear already from the name - they contribute to the elimination of excessively accumulated or retained fluid from the body through the urinary system. But not all are adherents of the official drugs.

An alternative to chemical medicines is offered by traditional medicine, a diuretic created by nature itself and tested for many generations, is an effective, safe and non-addictive way to rid your body of excess fluid.

When are diuretics indicated?

Diuretics are indicated for many conditions and diseases:

• Cardiovascular pathology
• Varicose veins
• Hypertension
• Diseases of the urinary organs
• Liver disease
• Pregnancy
• Allergy

If the use of diuretics is associated with a specific disease, a person is often doomed to a lifelong struggle with excess fluid accumulated in the body. Folk diuretics for hypertension are able to keep this dangerous disease under control and prevent critical surges in blood pressure.
