To simplify matters, the swelling occurs as excessive fluid under the skin accumulates in the spaces within the tissues that are outside of the blood vessels. These spaces may also be referred to as compartments or interstitial spaces. The body’s many organs also have these interstitial spaces, or areas between the cells, where fluid can accumulate.

However, swelling most commonly occurs in the feet and legs. This type of swelling is known as peripheral swelling.

Causes of Fluid Retention: There a multitude of internal and external influences that can lead to swelling in the feet, legs, ankles, and other parts of your body. The cause of swelling can even remain unknown, though this occurs most often in women rather than men. The existing risk factors, underlying medical conditions, and triggers include: Varicose veins or thrombophlebitis (blood clot resulting in swelling), heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, liver and kidney disease (nephrotic syndrome), low levels of albumin in the blood, standing or sitting for extended durations, excessive salt intake/salt retention.

Capisette helps with reducing swelling by providing your body with the electrolytes needed to restore proper fluid transfer in your cells.

It then gets rid of excess fluid using natural supplements.

Hawthorn Berry– Some studies suggest that hawthorn berry is an effective natural remedy for excess swelling. According to a 2008 study conducted by German researchers and published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, hawthorn berry may be an effective remedy for edema. In this study, rats were fed an equivalent of 200mg/kg of body weight. At the end of the study period, all rats taking hawthorn supplements saw a 50 percent reduction in paw edema.
