I use dandelion greens.  Raw in a salad, a tea steeped for ten minutes or
so then kept in the fridge and sipped during the course of a day or two. 
I get edema in my legs from bad varicose veins especially when I sit for a
long time.  When I fly I take dandelion extract, a few droppersful in
water every few hours.  The swelling usually subsides within a day.
