Are there any natural ways of getting ridd of the exess liquids in the body without having to take diuretics?

Question: I don´t mean now any stupid teas or stuff like that (that one is forced to drink many litres per day in order to make effect), but natural herbal kind of tablets or something..and I´m talking about body liquid retention that really shows in the end of the day if I don´t take diuretics (swollen ankles and like that). I drink almost couple of litres of water per day to clean my system, and have been doing that for the past 10-15 years. I´m 47 years old woman, normal weight, don´t smoke, drink normally, but have been taking bloodpressure medication since I was 40 (without them it´s skyhigh). Diuretics I started with a year ago, but would prefer to take natural medication if it exists. Please help!
Answers:
If you have liquid retention in your ankles, legs or arms, then compression bandaging could be one way to reduce this problem (ie using bandages to wrap your problem area using a certain amount of pressure, hence forcing the water elsewhere and to be slowly absorced)

Keepin the certain part elevated slightly above the body can also help.

Lastly, massaging the area can help the body absorb the water.

coffee is a diaretic, as is potasium, so its obvious to get some potasium tablets or eat lots of potatoes and bannans

Ummmmmm why not green tea? one cup a day will do it, and you can get it at any food store...it really works...also, I dont think potassium is a diuretic, because you take as Im sure you know, potassium tablets to replace potassium you lose while taking diuretics

staying active and working up a sweat will get rid of excess water!And if you really want to go with natural remedies,try a clove of fresh garlic to regulate your blood pressure!Garlic is also a blood purifier!

Watch your salt intake. Excessive salt is like your body sponge that holds the fluid in!
Also MALT is an excellent diuretic. In my country there are many non-alcoholic flavored malt beverages that beat any of the usual soft drinks
