Buckwheat is good at drawing out retained water and excess fluid from swollen areas of the body. Here is an easy recipe for buckwheat plaster.
Directions:
- Mix buckwheat flour with enough hot water to form a hard, stiff dough.
- Apply in a 1/2-inch layer to the affected area; tie in place with a bandage or piece of cotton linen.
- Leave in place for up to 4 hours.
After removing the plaster, you may notice that fluid is coming out through the skin or that the swelling is starting to go down. A buckwheat plaster will usually eliminate the swelling after only several applications, or at most after two or three days

Hello.Actually I got my knee swollen after an Anterior Cruciate ligament injury recently on a football field. I consulted with some doctors. In first step of my treatment I have to reduce this swelling and for that buckwheat seems to be a more natural way as compared to anti-inflammatory creams suggested by my doctor.
