Puffy hands look enlarged and swollen. Hands generally become puffy due to lymphatic stagnation and sluggish circulation.

Poor circulation often occurs as a result of a sedentary lifestyle and eating a diet in heavy, rich, sweet, and fried foods. Ayurvedically, puffy hands are a sign of imbalanced Kapha dosha.

Daily exercise and dry brushing (garshana) both work to combat sluggish circulation. Liver & lymph cleanse tea stimulates lymphatic flow, reducing congestion and stagnation that can lead to puffy hands. A light, Kapha balancing diet is also appropriate. Hands may be swollen for a number of other reasons and should always be checked by a medical doctor.
