High sodium intake
Dehydration
Kidney or liver imbalance
When the body struggles to eliminate fluids efficiently, they tend to settle in the legs, ankles, and feet due to gravity. This leads to puffiness, discomfort, and a feeling of heaviness — especially at the end of the day.
A properly prepared herbal tea can help stimulate natural diuresis, support circulation, and reduce inflammation safely.
