You have swelling due to water retention; also referred to as ‘Edema’.

A good place to start would be with dry skin brushing. Buy a dry brush and get in the habit of dry brushing daily. I recommend everyone to do this even if just for 2 minutes while waiting for the shower to warm up. 

 To dry brush the legs start at the groin with circular motions around the hip crease at the top of the leg. Then begin brushing up the leg. Start small and continue until you do full sweeps from ankle to groin. Repeat for all areas around the legs.

Also, you can schedule an appointment with a person who does lymphatic circulation massage "lymph drainage". 

 Ultimately you need to address the cause of the swelling, you should consult with a qualified naturopathic doctor in your area: www.naturopathic.org

 

Good luck,
