how to treat varicose veins on the legs

Varicosis is a disease of the vessels in which their walls are thinning.As a result, lengthening and expansion of veins occurs, pathological nodes are formed, blood flow is disturbed.Most often, varicose veins on the legs are diagnosed.But hands often suffer.There is also uterine varicose veins in women, testicles in men.It is not easy to normalize the situation - often you have to resort to surgical intervention.But at the initial stages of the development of the disease, it is possible to treat varicose veins with folk remedies.

Non -traditional medicine knows many ways to strengthen and restore blood vessels.These are diets, physical exercises, various decoctions, infusions, compresses.All of them are more harmless than pharmacy drugs, so many people prefer to do with natural remedies.But it is important to remember that in advanced situations, traditional medicine can only be used in the role of auxiliary.In any case, such treatment should be agreed with the doctor.

Features of the behavior of a person suffering from varicose veins

In the treatment of varicose veins and thrombophlebitis with folk remedies and more traditional methods, a person should adhere to a certain lifestyle.The fact is that it is precisely the errors in behavior that often lead to the development of the disease, and they must be eliminated.

What should you pay attention to first of all:

  • Cloth.The jeans in tight, tightly tightened belts make it difficult to pass the blood through the veins.Shoes are best chosen in a small heel.Studs and completely flat sole exacerbate the situation with varicose veins of the lower extremities.
  • Physical activity.It should be present in life - but in moderation.Heavy loads are excluded, but complete passivity will also cause harm.Regular walks in the fresh air, cycling, swimming in the pool are welcome.If the work is sedentary, you need to take breaks more often - get up and take at least a few steps around the room.A chair or chair should be as convenient as possible.A long sitting is especially exacerbated by the situation with varicose veins of the pelvis.
  • Water procedures.Hot baths in this disease are extremely undesirable, but a contrast shower must be taken more often - it improves blood circulation.
  • Cosmetic procedures.It is better to refuse the electric power and hair removal.
  • Bad habits.Alcohol and smoking significantly exacerbate the situation with varicose veins.

Therapeutic diet

diet for varicose veins

In the course of treatment by folk remedies of reticular varicose veins of the lower extremities and other parts of the body, only proper nutrition can slow down the process.And, perhaps, no funds will be needed anymore.And in case of more severe forms, the therapeutic diet will accelerate the process of recovery.

The patient’s diet should be in abundance:

  • vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C;
  • seafood, algae;
  • cereals;
  • products rich in fiber;
  • honey;
  • nuts;
  • legumes;
  • rose hips, gooseberries, currants;
  • vegetable oil;
  • parsley, dill;
  • garlic;
  • offal (liver, heart, tongue).

It is recommended to refuse from:

  • salt - to exclude it at least for the period of active treatment or minimize;
  • fried, smoked;
  • meat (especially pork);
  • canned food;
  • pickled dishes;
  • strong tea;
  • coffee;
  • sweets and sugar.

With varicose veins, drink more pure water (not carbonated).Green and herbal teas are also useful.It is advisable to start a meal with a light vegetable salad seasoned with vegetable oil.And it should be finished, remaining slightly hungry.Overflow is very harmful with vascular diseases.

Special underwear

With advanced varicose veins, treatment with folk remedies and other methods must be fixed by wearing special linen.

Compression tights, stockings, golfs, slopes and other knitwear squeeze expanded veins, increasing pressure and accelerating the bloodstream.At the same time, the risk of blood clots is significantly reduced.

Such linen should be selected under the leadership of the doctor.From the point of view of the action, there are various types of compression knitwear.For prevention, weaker pressure is required, and in the later stages of varicose veins - increased.

Typically, knitwear is put on in the morning - immediately after waking up, and removed before bedtime.But you can’t wear it around the clock.

Compression linen is contraindicated in heart and lean insufficiency, atherosclerosis, orthoarthia, span, dermatitis, skin allergies, and open wounds.With caution, it is prescribed for people with diabetes.

Gymnastic exercises

It is difficult to overestimate the benefits of gymnastics in the treatment of varicose veins, which often becomes the result of a sedentary lifestyle.Special exercises improve blood flow and lymphs in the vessels, tone and strengthen their walls, normalize blood pressure, and make a person more resilient.Gymnastics are especially shown to those who spend a lot of time in a sitting position.Experts recommend making it in the morning and in the evening, allocating thirty minutes for this.
