Water Retention General

There are many causes for water retention as mentioned above. Sometimes the cause cannot be identified. But, if you can diagnose the cause, some useful tips to accurately prescribe a remedy are offered below.
Dandelion. It is a herbal diuretic. Its advantage is that it is rich in potassium. As you know, excessive urination may result in depletion of Potassium. This herb boasts of having Potassium. So, the depletion is taken care of. You may safely use it even if the cause is not known.
Celery. you may use the plant and or the seeds. They are both effective as a diuretic. It is a general diuretic. The diagnosis of the cause is not important.
Yucca Root. If the water retention is due to the malfunction of the Kidneys, then Yuuca root is the answer.
Devil’s Claw Tuber. Water Retention may be caused by the clogging of the Lymph Nodes. This inactivity of the Lymph Nodes may cause the blood circulation to slow down, and hence result in the body retaining more water than necessary. Devil’s Claw Tuber is the answer.
Burdock Root. Water Retention may also be caused by an Allergic reaction. Something you ate or some medication you took. The body will produce Histamine and there will be fluid buildup. You will feel bloated and or congested. This condition will be relieved by Burdock Root. Burdock is an excellent Anti histamine. It is fast acting. Gives quick relief.

Barrie. Yes, Cat's Claw is very effective to cure Chlamydia. It is widely used to cure this disease.
You may consume it in the capsule form. Take 500 g capsule, twice in a day regularly for 15 days. Or, consume its root or bark extract.
Or, another way is to simply crush the Cat’s Claw root, add it to your soup, or tea. Consume it twice a day. In addition to this, drink Sage tea every day, one cup regularly for 15 days.
Start taking Golden Seal capsules, one every day, for a month.

Hi, there! Can you take the Cat's Claw capsules twice a day for 15 days AND also intake garlic? I heard it also cures Chlamydia as well but with herbal supplements as a regimen. Is this true?
