RE: Managing Post-dvt lymphodoema

[Guest guest]

Dear Vicki,I have successfully used a mix of zea mays (30), galium(30) and tarax fol (45). 10ml x3/ day; she also had an infection mix of echinacea 125ml baptisia 15ml and pokeroot 5ml - dosage 5ml/ 1 a day as she had an infected lesion on her leg due to the skin breakdown and I'm sure these also played a part in the success of the treatment. Hope this helpsSallyDr. Sally Moorcroft

Dear Colleagues,

Would appreciate if anyone has experience treating a lower limb lymphodoema in a 60s male due to iatrogenic dvt, after a knee operation (no heparin used prophylactically and the person's health otherwise does not predispose him to dvt). Health otherwise very good.

There is lymph stasis and also skin changes, brawny lower leg. Lymphodoema nursing is being pursued, support garment, mld massage,etc, but would like to support internally with herbs. I have lots of ideas as to what could help, but wondered if anyone had used particular herbs with particular demonstrable effects.

Many thanks,

Vicki Pitman
