Herbs for Lymphedema

Welcome @ljhill, I have lymphedema in my legs with the right leg being a little worse. Compressions socks work really well for me most of the time so I haven't thought about other natural treatments. I did see this article on the supplement but the side effects and drug interactions with high blood pressure meds are a little scary so I wouldn't even venture to try them myself.

Do you wear compression garments or do any therapy or exercises to help with your lymphedema?

I just started wearing a full compression stocking on my right leg. I am also learning exercises now with my therapist. I’m looking for other ways to help my condition such as supplements or a good diet as well. Thanks for the info

@ljhill can I ask what type of therapist you are seeing for Lymphoma, I'm just starting to experience it in my lower legs, more in one than the other, I deal with Erythema Nodosum also, not certain if that can cause it to become worse or not?

I have had lymphedema of my arm due to mastectomy in 1998 and radiation in 2003. I take horsechestnut capsules that help circulation. There is also horsechestnut cream to use topically. I am now 79 and use a pump daily followed by a custom compression sleeve. I also use a BEMER medical device for circulation snd exercise. I am not against trying new things, but these things are the only ones that work for me. I had a very good therapist early on who taught me self-care. I have researched and learned as much as I can. There is a National Lymphedema Network that anyone can contact for help and information. They can direct you to the best doctors and specially trained therapists. I wish the greatest success to anyone dealing with lymphedema. My arm, over the last 27 years has been infected numerous times. I see a wonderful doctor who makes sure I keep a supply of antibiotic to start immediately at the first sign of infection. However, I have had 3 septic infections in spite of all this good attention. It can be a beast. I live just north of Dallas. We have several good medical centers. Keep searching. There are good practitioners that care.

I saw occupational therapist who had certification in MLD and CDT. There is a school in the US (Vodder School) that teaches this type of massage. These are the people you need to see.
