Fluid accumulations

Fluid accumulations (oedemas) are water retentions in the tissue, frequently at the legs, arms or in the belly region. Important first: oedemas can be harmless, but also point to serious causes (heart, kidneys, liver) – therefore they always belong to be clarified by a doctor. At the Kyborg Institute we consider the theme additionally on a soul-related level, expressly as a personal, worldview-based view and only as a supplement.

Our reading

In our reading, fluid accumulations can hang together with the fear of losing something or of not being able to let go. Depending on the place, we read different images: water in the legs – old worlds of feeling that can neither be held nor coped with; in the belly region – lacking hold (see connective tissue). Helpful, in our experience, is to speak out old grief and build up trust. These are sensitive suggestions, no claims about causes.

What does that mean in practice?

• Always have oedemas clarified by a doctor – especially with sudden appearance or shortness of breath.
• Address what burdens you, instead of “damming it up inside”.
• Attend to movement and a balanced way of life.
