Supplements for Cellulite, Lymphatic Drainage and Swelling of Legs?

Posted By Corinna_bella (Sydney, Nsw, Australia) on 01/09/2010

Hi Ted,

I am quite a small healthy fit person but suffer from terrible cellulite on my legs and have swollen ankles all the time (cankles). It seems to be getting worse and after a comment from my beauty therapist (who was waxing my legs and told me i had really bad fluid retention and the legs of an obese person eeek) i did some research and i think its a lymphatic drainage issue (my doc had a look and didnt seem concerned at all).

I have started taking acv in my water (now having 2 litres per day, i havent been good with having water previously), and still eating mostly organic foods, no fruit juice, wheat free (have stomach issues with wheat) diet

Can you recommend supplements/treatment to assist with cellulite/lymp drainage/swelling of legs?

Im 27, f, 5'2 and weigh 54kgs. I lead an active life and dont snack so i believe its a body issue rather than lifestyle (outside of the fact that i havent been having enough water)

Thank you :)

Apparently gotu kola, dandelion, parsley and fenugreek are all good for the lymphatic system - with gotu kola supposedly the best of the four.
