How can I naturally dissolve varicose veins?
Yes, varicose veins can be dissolved naturally using certain home remedies without any surgery. Varicose veins are the veins which are enlarged or twisted due to malfunction of the valves. Valves are responsible for pushing blood back to the heart. If the valves are weakened or damaged, the blood starts flowing backward and pools up, causing dark, bulging, twisted, and swollen veins.Any vein close to the skin surface can be varicose. They are more common in women as compared to men because of some changes that only women go through during puberty, pregnancy and menopause. People having a family history of varicose veins or standing for long periods every day are at a higher risk. It can cause aching, pain and discomfort. Anyone can have varicose veins but it is not necessary that everyone feels discomfort because of this. It is commonly noticed in the legs as more pressure is displaced in the veins of the lower body or simply legs due to standing and walking. It can be treated using self care measures or procedures done by a health care provider to close or remove veins.
Dark purple or blue discoloration of veins, veins appearing twisted and bulging, like ropes on the legs or an achy feeling in the affected area, burning, throbbing, muscle cramping and swelling in the lower legs, intensified pain after sitting or standing for a long time, itching around the veins, changes in the skin color around a varicose vein are some of the symptoms of varicose veins.
If you notice the previously mentioned symptoms or you're concerned about how your veins look and feel and self-care measures haven't helped, you must see a doctor or healthcare provider.
The most common causes of varicose veins include pregnancy, standing for long periods of time, and obesity. Varicose veins are usually caused by weak or damaged veins and valves. Arteries are responsible for carrying blood from the heart to the rest of the body while veins are responsible for returning the blood to the heart. To return the blood, the veins have to work against gravity. Muscle contractions in the lower legs act as pumps, and elastic vein walls help blood return to the heart and the tiny valves in the veins are opened as blood flows toward the heart, then get closed to stop blood from flowing backward. If the tiny valves in the veins that return blood to the heart are weakened, they can allow blood to fall back into the vein due to gravity, and get collected causing the veins to stretch or twist, thus affecting areas of the lower body, such as the legs, the most. When blood flows back down the veins it can collect there causing the veins to become enlarged and skin discoloration can occur.
The reasons why the walls of the veins stretch and the valves in the veins weaken are not fully understood and there are few people who develop the condition for no obvious or apparent reason.
Varicose veins can be dissolved naturally by making sure that the blood circulation is good and there is no blood pool in the lower part of the body. Regular exercise stimulates blood circulation of the body. It is quite effective to help push the blood back collected in the veins to the heart. Replacing your sodium rich diet to a potassium rich diet can be very effective as potassium is not good at retaining water and hence enough water is released through the body in the form of urine. Wearing compression stockings is very impactful as it keeps the legs squeezed and helps the veins transport blood more efficiently. Foods that contain high fiber like seeds, nuts, and legumes, wheat, oats, and flaxseed, whole-grain foods must be added to the diet to avoid straining. Gentle massaging the affected area can help in keeping the blood moving. Wearing loose fitting clothes instead of tight fitting to improve the blood circulation. To naturally dissolve varicose veins all we need to keep in mind is to keep the blood flowing smoothly without any pooling.
