Swelling in the Lower Limbs? Frost-Touched Willow Leaves Work Wonders! From a Caring Netizen (Floating Snow, QQ: 1044559431): Hello, I’d like to share a folk remedy for lower limb edema caused by heart disease: Frost-touched willow leaves (from the old willow trees we used to grow; the current weeping willow varieties won’t work) are boiled in water for about 10 minutes, and the resulting decoction is consumed as tea. Improvement can often be seen within two days. My mother, now 79 years old, was hospitalized for heart disease in 2012. Even after treatment, her lower limbs remained swollen upon discharge. We then consulted an elderly traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who recommended this remedy. Each time, about 30 grams of frost-touched willow leaves were boiled and consumed as tea. After two days, the swelling in her legs subsided. Later, while chatting with friends, I learned of others with similar conditions and promptly recommended this remedy. Those who tried it reported excellent results. Many people have used this method, especially those whose swelling persisted despite being prescribed diuretics in the hospital. They all found it highly effective. Shared by: Teacher Wang
