        Hello! I had knee surgery 5 weeks ago. They did a trepidation of my meniscus’s then cleaned out a lot of damaged cartilage (grade 3 chondrosis if anyone is familiar with the term). I still have a ton of swelling in the tissues around my knee. I’m thinking a kidney cleanse could help, especially with all the meds they had me on. Any other thoughts for reducing swelling/edema?

          Yeah that sounds like it would be a good place to start. Look for anything labeled as a diuretic to help with swelling, the most easily accessible would be Dandelion, the leaf is stronger than the root for its diuretic properties
