Diet Therapy for Dropsy (Oedema)
To begin with, the patient should fast on fruit and vegetable
juices for about five days. He should take a glass of juice
diluted with water on a 50:50 ratio during this period. After
the juice fast, he may spend another three or four days on
an exclusive fruit diet, taking three meals a day of juicy fruits
such as apples, grapes, pineapple, and papaya at
five-hourly intervals. Thereafter he may gradually embark
upon a well-balanced diet, with emphasis on fresh fruits and
raw vegetables.
