A Natural Approach To Treating Varicose Veins

July 27, 2009




varicose-veins-0Varicose veins is a medical condition in which the veins, mostly on your legs, become enlarged, swollen and knotted, and may begin to show through your skin as blue or violet patches.

This happens because your vein valves have become week and are no longer able to push the blood back to the heart. The blood trapped inside these veins, is the toxic blood and that’s what gives them that blue or violet color.

Natural cures

Varicose veins is quite a painful experience, and although there are a lot of medical procedures which can help in t treating this problem, most health experts still insist that you must try natural treatments first. The natural treatments involve making certain changes to your everyday diet and supplementing it with some additional vitamins, and getting onto a regular exercising schedule. The target is to strengthen your body’s circulatory system, so that no toxic blood remains stuck in the veins.

Exercise regularly

If you have the problem of varicose veins, then you need to become particular about exercising on a regular basis. Your basic objective is to improve the circulation of blood, so if you can’t think of following some rigorous exercise program then even something as simple as walking or jogging is absolutely fine.

Exercising makes your blood to run faster in your arteries and veins, so even the trapped blood will get displaced from where it is stuck. At the same time, exercising makes your vein walls stronger and more efficient.

Exercising regularly will ensure that you stay within the healthy weight limit.  Being overweight means your legs have to bear a lot of the extra pressure, which is often one of the reasons for varicose veins.

Watch your food habits

Constipation is believed to aggravate the problem of varicose veins, because when you’re constipated the flow of blood in your body gets disrupted. Also, straining to pass stool may exert a lot of pressure on your legs and your circulatory system which may make your problem of varicose veins even more troublesome. To avoid constipation go in for a low fat and high fiber diet.

Also you need vitamins to strengthen your veins and improve the blood circulation, so have a lot of vegetables, fruits and whole grains instead of processed and refined foods.

Some of the foods that can help in curing varicose veins are ginger, garlic and onions. These foods will help to break down the fibrin that surrounds the veins, and thus your veins will be able to get back into their normal shape and place.
