if you think that you have toxemia you must go to the doc that u are seeing during ur pregnancy because toxemia is extreamly dangerous and needs to be treated asap. also try these things to help.
Drink water, drink some more, and drink some more. You’ll know the bathrooms around town like no one else. We’re talking 2+ quarts/day.
2. Up your protein to 80 – 100 mg, a day.
3. Calcium… up that as much as possible, combining w/ magnesium.
4. Take baths w/ Epsom salts (the magnesium helps)
5. Visualizations and affirmations (sounds corny, but if you can visualize your blood pressure going down and your body relaxing, it CAN help)
6. Eat a cucumber each day; as well, bananas help with potassium, too, so eat one/day.
7. Herbs like Passionflower help relax the circulatory system. Uva Ursi helps reduce edema, but talk with an herbalist/midwife before consuming.
8. I also take Grape seed extract (w/ some vit E and C) and garlic capsules and Evening Primrose Oil.
9. Stop wearing a bra. I have no scientific evidence to support this, but relaxing the chest area from a tight fitting bra can help relax everything.
10. Chiropractics
Also: spend at least 30 mins a day in a pool. Studies have shown that full body immersion (in a pool, not a tub) for 30+ minutes a day will help bring the BP down."
