How to get rid of edema the fastest

Some girls are actually not fat and don’t weigh much, but they always look bloated, so they appear fat. The main cause of edema is poor blood circulation and metabolism in the body. If you like to drink a lot of water before going to bed at night, sit for a long time, etc., edema will gradually occur. Edema is not only common in the legs, but is also more obvious on the face. So, what is the fastest way to reduce edema?

Saline eye compress

Method: Add a teaspoon of salt to 500cc of 40-degree warm water, stir evenly, soak the gauze in the salt water to fully absorb the salt, then fold the gauze into an appropriate size and apply it to the eyes for about 20 minutes.

Principle: Use the principle of high osmotic pressure to drain water from low to high, thereby draining the water.

TIPS: Test the temperature before applying hot compress to avoid high temperature damaging your skin.

Alternating hot and cold facial compresses

Method: First apply a hot towel to your face, then apply a cold compress, and repeat 3 times. The time for hot and cold compresses on the face should be allocated in a ratio of 1:2, and should be applied for at least 15 minutes.

Principle: Alternating hot and cold facial compresses can make blood vessels contract, expand, and then contract again, promoting blood circulation in the skin and promoting the discharge of excess moisture from the face.

TIPS: The temperature of the hot towel should be controlled properly and not too hot.

Acupoint massage

Method: Press the area around the eye sockets with your fingertips, press each position for 5 seconds, and repeat 3 times.

Principle: Due to the complex relationship between Qi, blood, meridians, etc., many acupoints are formed on the face and body. They can reflect whether the Qi and blood are running smoothly. Regular stimulation and pressing of these acupoints can improve the function of internal organs and eliminate edema.

Drink black coffee

Method: After breakfast, drink a cup of pure black coffee. After about 30 minutes to 1 hour, you will see that the swelling on your face disappears.

Principle: The caffeine contained in black coffee has the effect of drainage and diuresis, and accelerates the consumption of body calories, so it can quickly eliminate facial swelling, especially eye swelling.

TIPS: The Ministry of Health has announced that the upper limit of caffeine intake per day is 300 mg. A cup of black coffee has about 50 to 100 mg in terms of concentration. Be sure to control the amount you drink.
