Treatment of varicose veins in the legs with folk remedies

Varicose veins are a disease of the blood vessels in which their walls become thinner. As a result, the veins elongate and dilate, abnormal nodules form and blood flow is disrupted. Varicose veins in the legs are diagnosed more often. But the hands often suffer. There is also varicose veins in women, in the testicles in men. It is not easy to normalize the situation - it is often necessary to resort to surgery. However, in the early stages of the disease, varicose veins can be treated with folk remedies.

Alternative medicine knows many ways to strengthen and repair blood vessels. These are diets, exercise, various decoctions, infusions, compresses. All of these are safer than medicines, so many people prefer to do only natural remedies. But it is important to remember that in advanced situations, traditional medicine can only be used as an adjunct. In any case, such a treatment must be agreed with the doctor.

Characteristics of the behavior of a person suffering from varicose veins

When treating varicose veins and thrombophlebitis with folk remedies and more traditional methods, a person must follow a certain lifestyle. The fact is that they are behavioral errors that often lead to the development of the disease and must be eliminated.

What to look out for first:

• Clothes. Skinny jeans and tight belts make it difficult for blood to pass through the veins. It is better to choose shoes with small heels. Braces and a completely flat sole aggravate the condition with varicose veins of the lower extremities.
• Physical activity. It must be present in life - but in moderation. Heavy loads are excluded, but complete passivity will also hurt. Regular walks in the fresh air, cycling, swimming in the pool are encouraged. If the work is sedentary, you should take frequent breaks - get up and take at least a few steps around the room. The chair or stool should be as comfortable as possible. Prolonged sitting significantly worsens the condition with pelvic varicose veins.
• Water treatments. Hot baths for this disease are extremely undesirable, but a shower with contrast should be taken more often - it improves blood circulation.
• Aesthetic procedures. It is better to refuse electrolysis and waxing.
• Bad habits. Alcohol and smoking significantly worsen the condition with varicose veins.

Therapeutic diet

During treatment with folk remedies for varicose veins of the lower extremities and other parts of the body, proper nutrition alone can slow down the process. And, perhaps, you will not need more money. And in more severe forms, a therapeutic diet will speed up the healing process.

The patient's diet should be plentiful:

• vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C?
• seafood, seaweed?
• cereals?
• foods rich in fiber.
• honey?
• nuts?
• legumes?
• rose hips, gooseberries, gooseberries?
• vegetable oil?
• parsley, dill?
• garlic?
Guts (liver, heart, tongue).

It is recommended that you unsubscribe from:

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

For varicose veins, you should drink plenty of clean water (not carbonated). Green and herbal teas are also helpful. It is recommended to start your meal with a light vegetable salad seasoned with vegetable oil. And you should finish it while you remain slightly hungry. Overconsumption of food is very harmful for vascular diseases.

Special underwear

With advanced varicose veins, treatment with folk remedies and other methods must be corrected using special underwear.

Compression stockings, stockings, high knees, leggings and other compression knits with varicose veins, increasing pressure and speeding up blood flow. This significantly reduces the risk of blood clots.

These underwear should be selected under the guidance of a doctor. In terms of effect, there are different types of compression tights. For prevention purposes, weaker pressure is required, and in the later stages of varicose veins, increased pressure.

Usually the blouse is worn in the morning - immediately after waking up and removed before bed But you can not wear it around the clock.

Compression garments are contraindicated in case of cardiopulmonary failure, atherosclerosis, orthoarthritis, gums, dermatitis, skin allergies, open wounds. Recommended with caution to people with diabetes.

Gymnastic exercises

It is difficult to overestimate the benefits of exercise in the treatment of varicose veins, which often results from a sedentary lifestyle. Special exercises improve blood and lymph flow through the blood vessels, stimulate and strengthen their walls, normalize blood pressure and make a person more resilient. Exercise is especially suitable for those who spend a lot of time in a sitting position. Experts recommend doing it in the morning and evening, taking thirty minutes for it.

Exercises for different types of diseases:

• Practically with all types of varicose veins, the following exercises are performed: in the lying position, bend one lower extremity and pull it to the chest. then straighten, pull up and hold for a few seconds. Then lower and repeat the same movements with the other leg.
• Also, an exercise is considered universal, during which you should, sit in a chair and rest your heels on the floor, make flexible movements with your socks.
• Suitable for all patients and "swallow". Stand up, straighten, lift your fingers and extend your arms. Then exhale and take one foot back. Repeat with the other end.
With varicose veins, it is useful to do a very simple exercise: lie on a hard surface, placing a pillow under your feet. At the same time, it is important to relax as much as possible, close your eyes, breathe deeply and evenly. Lie down like this for 10-15 minutes.
• In the treatment of folk remedies for varicose veins of the small pelvis (varicose veins of the uterus or ovaries), the exercise "bike" will help. Lying on your back, you should make rotating movements with your feet, imitating a walk. It is also recommended to do regular "scissors", which includes crossing (horizontal and vertical) movements of the legs in a prone position.
Men with testicular varicose veins appear to stand on their toes more often, stay in that position for about 20 seconds, and then "land" on their heels. This will allow you to fight congestion in the genital veins.

Traditional medicines
