Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's tissues. Edema can affect any part of the body but it's most common in the extremities like the ankles, legs, feet, arms and hands. It can occur during hot weather, pregnancy and it's a common sign of imbalance in conditions affecting the plasma channel (rasa vaha srotas) and hydration channel (udaka vaha srotas) in the body.
