According to Ayurveda, Punarnava is also known for its diuretic effects and is believed to help the body expel excess fluids, such as urine. One of its traditional uses is for urinary function and fluid balance, which is why it's a popular topic of conversation. But if there is a serious and grave condition related to the heart, kidneys, liver, or blood flow, swelling can result. Don't consider Punarnava as an alternative treatment when the cause of the problem of water retention in the body is unknown. Don't take unless recommended by a health care professional, especially if taking a diuretic or other medications.
