Leg swelling that improves when legs are elevated
Leg swelling that improves with elevation is typically caused by fluid pooling due to gravity. When you raise your legs, the fluid drains back towards the heart. This pattern usually points to venous insufficiency or prolonged standing. Ayurveda uses circulatory therapies and herbal medicines to address the root cause.
