Overview

Punarnava mandur is one of the best classical Ayurvedic herbal remedies to reduce body swelling. It is purely a natural product without causing any side effects and is being used by Ayurvedic physicians in worldwide for ages. This herbal remedy reduces body swelling without causing any side effects.

Causes of Body Swelling

  • Anemia
  • Weak Heart ( Congestive heart failure, Pump failure, Cardiomyopathies)
  • Weak Kidneys ( Renal Failure, Nephrotic syndrome and many others)
  • Weak Liver ( Liver failure, hepatitis, jaundice, liver cirrhosis)
  • Swelling around joints – Due to arthritis of any type.

Generalized swelling is also known as Anasarca in medical terminology. It is also referred to as edema. Edema is a medical condition characterized by excessive accumulation of fluid within the body’s tissues. The fluid buildup rapidly increases the weight of the person.

The swelling can be all over the body, under the skin, in the feet or ankles, under eyes or all over the body.

The swelling on the body may be pitting or non-pitting edema. Pitting edema is a type of swelling that leaves an indentation in the skin when the swollen area is pushed on for five seconds and then quickly removed. Non-pitting edema, on the other hand, does not leave a pit.

A certain amount of slight body swelling is considered normal during warmer months. This is particularly true for people who walk or stand a lot throughout the day. In addition, a pregnant woman may experience a mild swelling by the stress of carrying a child. In both cases, there is generally no cause for concern.

It is also possible that swelling in the body can be caused by severe illness, particularly when the swelling is generalized. A person having massive swelling should seek a medical attention immediately, as it can indicate a serious progressive or chronic illness.

Some illnesses that can cause swelling include heart failure, chronic kidney disease, acute glomerulonephritis, nephritic syndrome, thyroid disease, and liver failure resulting from cirrhosis. Burns, both from fire and from the sun, can also cause swelling. Malnutrition, excessive salt intake, and too little albumin in the blood are other possible causes for swelling in the body.

Certain drugs can also cause swelling in the body. Common drugs that can lead to swelling include antihypertensive, androgenic steroids, anabolic steroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and calcium channel blockers. Carticosteroids can also cause swelling, as they encourage retention of sodium.
