Hello, Here are some Home Remedies for varicose veins which will help in reducing your condition: -Take Grape seed oil- 3 tsp, Jojoba oil- 3 tsp, Lemon/ geranium/peppermint or any other essential oil of your choice- 8 drops. Mix all the oils. Take some on your palms and rub to warm it up. Now gently massage your legs, ankles or the area with varicose veins. Use upward strokes, from feet to the top of your legs. -Take the fuller?s earth and add enough water to it to get a smooth paste. Apply this paste on your legs or wherever you have varicose veins. Leave it overnight. Fuller?s earth will dry off on your skin after some time. You can go to sleep once it gets dried. Wash it off next morning when you wake up. Management: You will also need to bring some minor and some major changes in your lifestyle so that you may prevent this varicose veins issue once and for all. Do not sit or stand for longer periods at a stretch. If your work demands so, take breaks after every 30 minutes. Change your position, walk a little, stretch or stand for a while. Just don?t be in a same position for longer. If you sit for longer, try to keep your legs elevated by using a stool or another chair. Don?t sit with crossed legs or crossed ankles. Keep your legs elevated even when you lie down or sleep. Avoid wearing high heels. Avoid wearing tight clothes, especially those that may cut your blood circulation around your waist legs and groin area. Exercise regularly. Cardiovascular exercises and strength training all are beneficial for you. Walking too improves your blood circulation. Lose weight. Being overweight is one of the major causes of varicose veins. Have a balanced diet. Include more fiber in your meals. Fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants are good for you. Avoid alcohol as it dilates blood vessels making your varicose veins condition worse. Quit smoking as it doesn?t keeps your blood circulation healthy. Treatment: Wear medical Compression Stockings which are specially designed for varicose veins. Take homoeopathic medicine - Calcarea fluor. 12x/ and Hamamelis 200 - both thrice a day for 1 month. Then revert me back.
