What’s the best way to lose water retention?

My autoimmune disease is causing me to retain water and my face, hands and ankles are puffy/swollen on top of that my body holding onto it is making me feel alittle insecure

Getting a massage would be good, if money permits an aromatherapist would be able to select some essential oils that are diuretics and focus on lymphatic drainage massage techniques. ❤

Ironically, drink more water

and eat less salt. Salt causes your body to retain water. And drinking more water helps flush the salt out
@caPnAhab true
As counter productive as it sounds apparently drinking water is the best way to lose water. It flushes it out.

Lasix works well for a lot of people.
Cold shower for a few minutes. Ice packs.

Depending on the cause, treatment may include: a low-salt diet. diuretics (water pills) treatment for the underlying medical condition – such as hormone replacement (thyroxine) in the case of hypothyroidism.
