Edema

[twinyoga]

So, I just found out I'm starting to get edema (water, bloating really bad and uncomfortable) but not in the usual areas of the feet and ankles, mine is in my breasts. I just spoke to my doctor. It does happen and I have to start wearing a bra 24/7.

I started taking magnesium (natural calm) to see if this will help and I'm cutting back on salt, but anyone have other ideas? I feel great, other than the boobs swelling and becoming kind of numb.

My big cravings right now are kale, spinach and oranges.

I'm at 25 weeks now.
Thanks

Ask your Dr. about taking potassium?

Try a castor oil pack (Edgar Cayce remedy). Apply cold pressed castor oil (external use only kind from HFS) to area and cover with wool flannel or cotton. I've known people to do this overnight and report some difference the next morning.
I've used the "Home Health" brand of Castor Oil that I get at Whole Foods or a small independent HFS.
