Natural treatment for Varicose Veins
October 26, 2009
What is Varicose Veins?
This is also called Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). There is a one way flap in the veins of the human body which keeps the blood flowing towards the heart.
When this flap does not function properly or when it deteriorates, the veins leading to the heart expand or widen. The expanded veins become visible on the surface of the skin.
Effects:
Varicose Veins is not a life threatening disease. If this disease is left untreated, it may cause itching and it may result in a disease called ‘Phlebitis’ (inflammation of the veins). It may also result in blood clots.
Cure:
There are many medicines to treat varicose veins. One of the popular medicines is Sclerotherapy. It is said that this treatment is not so effective. In some cases, surgery is also performed. Apart from the above, there are some natural ways to treat varicose veins.
Diosmin:
This is an orange peel. This has the potentiality to protect the veins and capillaries from inflammation. It prevents the body from causing vascular destruction.
Apart from controlling damage to blood vessel valves, it prevents blood backflow. It has preventive and curative effects; meaning, it prevents varicose veins and in case of those suffering from this disease, it cures the disease. The recommended dosage is about 600 mg of Diosmin every day.
Horse chestnut Seed:
This seed is largely cultivated in Europe and North America. This seed has an ingredient called ‘Escin’. Recent studies have shown that ‘Escin’ improves blood circulation by increasing the tone in the walls of the veins.
With the increase in the tone (increase in the elasticity of the veins), the blood circulation improves. With unrestricted flow of blood in the veins, the chances of varicose veins also reduce. Edema (swelling caused by excess fluid) caused due to injuries can also be cured by ‘Escin’.
Some even suggest a combination of Diosmin and Horse chestnut seed which is quite effective to fight Varicose Veins. By this combination, the blood circulation in the veins and capillaries can be improved significantly; the elasticity of the veins also gets improved and inflammation of the veins reduces.
It is said that the results of this combination can be seen in 1 – 2 weeks.
