What is the best essential oil for edema?
Essential oils such as peppermint, lavender, helichrysum, marjoram, eucalyptus, and chamomile can be used to reduce swelling6. We can use it by adding 2-3 drops of it to a hot water bath and soaking the swollen legs in it for 10 minutes or until the water turns cold. Essential oils can also be used to massage the legs. Put your legs on pillows to raise them above your heart while lying down. Exercise your legs. This helps pump fluid from your legs back to your heart. Follow a low-salt diet, which may reduce fluid buildup and swelling.
