It depends. If the heart needs to be strengthened then Hawthorn is good.

Watch salt intake.

Compression stockings.

Parsley tea:

What do you think is causing so much edema besides not exercising?

Dandelion tea.

It is a natural diuretic and two cups a day (I mix mine with decaf green tea) for several days will reduce edema.
