Managing Post-dvt lymphodoema

[Guest guest]

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
