Key Benefits of Guava Leaves for Water Retention
1. Natural Diuretic Power
Guava leaves gently stimulate your kidneys, helping flush out excess water and salt through urine. This makes them an excellent choice for anyone dealing with puffiness or swelling caused by fluid buildup.
2. Reduces Inflammation
Swollen feet or legs? Guava leaves contain anti-inflammatory compounds that can help ease this discomfort, especially when water retention causes visible bloating.
3. Cleanses Toxins from the Body
By encouraging urination, guava leaf tea can help your body eliminate toxins, supporting kidney function and overall detoxification.
4. Packed with Antioxidants
Rich in flavonoids and vitamin C, guava leaves protect your cells from oxidative stress, improving both circulatory and urinary health.
