Edema / Oedema, also known as “Oedema,” is a condition characterized by the build-up of excess fluid in body tissues, resulting in swelling and puffiness. This occurrence is caused by the leakage of fluid from tiny blood vessels (capillaries), which causes the surrounding tissues to retain water. Edema can have various causes, including heart failure, kidney disease, liver issues, or injury. It typically affects the ankles, feet, legs, and hands, causing discomfort and limited movement. Treatment involves addressing the root cause, such as managing heart or kidney conditions, reducing sodium intake, and utilizing compression garments. In more severe cases, diuretics or other medical interventions may be necessary to reduce swelling and improve overall well-being.
Apis is especially useful when the edema is associated with a sensation of burning, stinging, or prickling. The swelling is often soft and may be worse with warmth.
