Do your legs, ankles, or feet often feel puffy or heavy? Swelling in the lower body (edema) can happen from sitting or standing too long, hormonal changes, heat, or circulation issues. The good news is that a simple cup of parsley tea can help your body release excess fluid naturally – and give your legs sweet relief!
Why Parsley Tea Works
✅ Natural Diuretic – Parsley stimulates your kidneys to flush out excess water and sodium, reducing swelling quickly.
✅ Rich in Antioxidants – Helps lower inflammation and supports circulation, both key to preventing fluid buildup.
✅ High in Potassium – Balances sodium levels in your body, which is important for maintaining healthy fluid balance.
How to Make Parsley Tea
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves (or 2 tablespoons dried parsley)
- 1–2 cups boiling water
- Optional: lemon juice or a teaspoon of raw honey for taste
Instructions:
- Wash fresh parsley and chop it roughly.
- Place parsley in a teapot or mug, then pour boiling water over it.
- Cover and steep for 5–10 minutes.
- Strain, add lemon or honey if you like, and drink warm.
How to Use It
✅ Drink 1–2 cups of parsley tea per day when you notice swelling starting or feel bloated.
✅ Combine it with gentle leg movements or elevating your feet for faster relief.
Important Tips
- Always stay hydrated; dehydration can actually make swelling worse.
- Avoid excessive salt in your diet, as it causes water retention.
- See a doctor if swelling is sudden, painful, or accompanied by shortness of breath, as it can signal serious conditions like heart, kidney, or vein problems.
