Lymphatic drainage drops do they work?

[SleepsAThingOfThePast]

Just that really. Someone at work suggested to try them for bloatedness and water retention I have in my legs.

Aren’t they just the water tablets you can get from the dr?

I'm not sure. I didn't want to bother gp if was something I can just buy myself.

Don’t know what they are but have you tried Legs Up the Wall, then a bit of self leg massage, and/or pre shower dry skin brushing?

both great to stimulate lymphatic drainage

I do elevate my legs as much as possible, haven't tried massage/dry skin brushing yet. I shall definitely try that

Compression stockings are very effective

Well, no. They will be some total shite from Holland and Barrett or some TikTok retailer in all likelihood.
a doctor isn’t going to prescribe you this, that is for sure!

Legs up the wall, very calming too

Here's a sensible article about lymphatic drainage massage. Do have a read.

The drops contain a mixture of common herbal remedies, some of which are to 'remove toxins' (they don't) and dandelion, which is a diuretic. Water, tea and coffee are also diuretics; water also 'detoxes' better than herbs, as it makes your kidneys work a bit harder.

Legs up, dry brushing - it's great for the skin, if nothing else - and massage if you want. If the oedema gets worse, you must see your doctor.
