Reduces Water Retention

A proven diuretic, Misai kucing helps to get rid of excess water and alleviate water retention in your body through urination. Unlike many other diuretics though, it will not cause an electrolyte imbalance in your body. Water retention is the culprit that causes problems such as:

• Bloating prior to and during menses – If you don’t need a calendar to track your menstrual cycle because your body warms you with uncomfortable PMS symptoms, you could be suffering from water retention. Water retention can cause PMS symptoms such as tender breast, swollen hands and feet, and overall bloated ness (tighter skirt/pants). 

• Sluggishness – Water retention can cause you to wake up with a “heavy head” in the morning, and feel bloated and sluggish throughout the day.

• Facial puffiness or “bread face” – If your face doesn’t look as contoured as before, or if you often wake up in the morning with a puffy face, you are retaining excess fluid in your body. Water retention can make your face look fuller and feel spongy. To regain that contoured and more youthful face, you have to get rid of that excess fluid!

• Eye puffiness – Eye puffiness is caused by fluid retention under the eyes. Addressing your body’s tendency to store excess fluid can help you successfully reduce the swelling around your eyes.

• Weight gain – Bloating caused by excess fluid retention in the body can result in weight gain. If you are controlling your diet, but the scales refuse to budge (or even worse, the numbers are climbing), you may have too much fluid trapped in your body. If you want to become slimmer and lighter, you need to address water retention!

• Swollen and heavy legs – If you suffer from heavy legs or swollen calves and feet, especially after being on your feet for long hours, Misai kucing can help alleviate this problem.
