Members shared a wide variety of home remedies for reducing swelling in lymph nodes and general edema, with suggestions ranging from herbal teas like chamomile with lavender and nettles to supplements such as MSM, borage oil, evening primrose, and organic apple cider vinegar with the mother. Several members highlighted the benefits of lymphatic drainage massage or a gentle brushing technique that guides fluid from the neck downward, with one member crediting compression bandaging and this massage for recovery after severe swelling from medication. A recurring theme was exploring natural anti-inflammatory options alongside professional therapies, with members also sharing personal experiences with mineral wraps, steam therapy, and muscle rubs for symptom relief.

Nettles are a natural anti-inflammatory. I drink a tea with nettles in it to help with my pain at times

I went for a Mineral WRAP, herer in Idaho springs Colorado. It feels wonderful, 5 days later Im still releasing toxins and buildup. You lose inches, and a lot of inflammation with Fibro, ra. Good luck, Otherwise I use steam and muscle rub, and it feels good. Releases some of the pain

if you read my recent post, I went for a mineral wrap, They wrap you like a mummy, with soothing mineral from the Colorado waters(may sound crazy) but I needed some relief. So after an hour of wrapped up, she kept spritzing mineral water on, It felt good. UNWRAP, then lay on some warm blankets, Honestly and I don't believe in all this, it help a good couple days, Of course was a 49$cost, (Ive never even had a massage) but now I feel it did help. She said it takes toxins out of you? WHat do you think? So today Im debating DO I try the CBD cream? 55 $ at a local chriprators office. WIll it be better than all the Muscle rubs I use? ANy ansers would help?
