Treatment of varicose veins on 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 expand, pathological nodes form, and blood flow is disturbed. The most common diagnoses are varicose veins on the legs. But the hands often suffer. There are also varicose veins of the uterus in women, testicles in men. It is not easy to normalize the situation - often it is necessary to resort to surgical intervention. But at the initial stages of the development of the disease, varicose veins can be treated with folk remedies.

Alternative medicine knows many ways to strengthen and restore blood vessels. These are diets, exercise, various decoctions, infusions, compresses. All of them are more harmless than pharmaceutical preparations, so many people prefer only natural remedies. However, it is important to remember that traditional medicine can only be used as an aid in advanced situations. In any case, such treatment should 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 adhere to a certain lifestyle. The fact is that it is behavioral defects that often lead to the development of the disease and that need to be eliminated.

What you should pay attention to first:

• clothing. Skinny jeans and tight belts make it difficult for blood to flow through the veins. It is better to choose shoes with small heels. Rivets and a completely flat sole worsen 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 is also harmful. Regular walks in the fresh air, cycling, swimming in the pool are recommended. If the work is sedentary, you need to take frequent breaks - get up and take at least a few steps in space. The chair or chair should be as comfortable as possible. Sitting for long periods of time especially aggravates the situation with pelvic varices.
• Water treatments. Hot baths for this disease are extremely undesirable, but a contrast shower should be taken more often - it improves blood circulation.
• Cosmetic procedures. It is better to refuse electrolysis and waxy hair removal.
• Bad habits. Alcohol and smoking make the situation with varicose veins much worse.

Therapeutic diet

During treatment with folk remedies for reticular varicose veins of the lower extremities and other parts of the body, proper nutrition alone can slow down the process. And maybe no more funds will be needed. And in more severe forms, a therapeutic diet speeds up the healing process.

The patient's diet should be plentiful:

• vegetables and fruits that are rich in vitamin C;
• seafood, seaweed;
• grain;
• high fiber foods;
• honey;
• nuts;
• legumes;
• rose hips, gooseberries, currants;
• vegetable oil;
• parsley, dill;
• garlic;
• offal (liver, heart, tongue).

It is recommended to log out of:

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

If you have varicose veins, you should drink plenty of clean water (not carbonated). Green and herbal teas are also helpful. It is advisable to start the meal with a light vegetable salad flavored with vegetable oil. And you should finish it while staying slightly hungry. Overeating is very harmful to vascular disease.

Special underwear

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

Compression tights, stockings, knee socks, leggings and other knitwear compress dilated veins, increase pressure and speed up blood flow. This greatly reduces the risk of blood clots.

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

Usually the jersey is put on in the morning - removed immediately after waking up and before going to bed. But you can't wear it around the clock.

Compression clothing is contraindicated for cardiopulmonary insufficiency, arteriosclerosis, orthoarteritis, pressure ulcers, dermatitis, skin allergies and open wounds. It is prescribed with caution to people with diabetes.

gymnastics exercises

It is difficult to overestimate the benefits of exercise in treating varicose veins, which often result from a sedentary lifestyle. Special exercises improve blood and lymph flow through the vessels, tone and strengthen their walls, normalize blood pressure and make a person more resilient. Gymnastics is especially suitable for those who spend a lot of time sitting. Experts recommend doing this in the morning and evening and allowing 30 minutes for it.

Exercises for different types of diseases:

• Practically with all types of varicose veins, such gymnastics is shown: in the prone position, bend a lower limb 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.
• An exercise is also considered universal. During this exercise, you need to sit in a chair with your heels resting on the floor, making all-round movements with your toes.
• Suitable for all patients and "swallow". Stand up, straighten up, stand on tiptoe and spread your arms. Then exhale and take one leg back. Repeat the same thing with the other link.
• With varicose veins of the legs, it is useful to do a very simple exercise: lie down on a hard surface with 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 like this for 10-15 minutes.
• In the treatment of folk remedies for varicose veins of the pelvis (varicose veins of the uterus or ovaries), the training "bicycle" helps. Lying on your back, you must rotate your feet to mimic a ride. It is also recommended to regularly do "scissors" in which the leg movements cross each other in the prone position (horizontal and vertical).
• It is shown that men who suffer from varicose veins of the testicles stand on their toes more often, stay in this position for about 20 seconds, and then suddenly "land" on their heels. In this way, you can fight congestion in the veins of the genital organ.

Traditional medicines

Traditional medicines should be used in conjunction with diet, exercise and lifestyle adjustments. They are gentler than pharmaceutical products and much cheaper. Of course, it is far from always possible to get along with just folk recipes. In advanced cases this is excluded. But they will not be superfluous even in the most difficult situations.

The main purpose of traditional medicine is to prevent clogging of the veins. To do this, various decoctions, ointments, creams, compresses and other homemade drugs are used. The recipes for the most effective are given below.

Apply tinctures

Medicinal tinctures during the treatment of varicose veins can be used both internally and externally.

The following tools worked fine:

1. Kalanchoe effectively treats vascular diseases of the lower extremities. The leaves of this plant should be crushed, filled with medicinal alcohol in a 1: 1 ratio and left for a while, closing the container tightly. After a few days, the tincture can be rubbed into the affected skin. The vascular network will disappear.
2. Horse chestnut is used to treat varicose veins of the uterus with folk remedies. You will need 50 grams of flowers, which must be filled with vodka or alcohol. Insist for 14 days, shaking occasionally. Take 2 tablespoons orally three times a day a few minutes before meals. The duration of the course is one week.
3. Another recipe for treating pelvic diseases (varicose veins of the uterus or ovaries) is a tincture made from a mixture of herbs. You need to eat dandelion root, horsetail, knotweed, chamomile, feverfew and clover in equal parts and combine all of these (you can buy a ready-made collection at the pharmacy). 2 tablespoons of the mixture is poured into 0. 5 liters of boiling water and left in a thermos overnight. Take 50 grams orally four times a day.
4. For varicose veins of the testicles in men, treatment with folk remedies includes the infusion of birch and strawberry leaves, sweet clover and oat straw. All this is crushed, mixed in a ratio of 1: 1, and then a tablespoon of the collection is poured into 600 ml of boiling water. Insist 30 minutes. Burden. Take 0. 25 glasses three times a day before meals. The duration of the course is one month.

Compression handling

Compresses work with varicose veins, which are no worse than tinctures. A wide variety of ingredients are used to prepare them. Most of them are always at hand.

Here are the simplest and cheapest recipes:

• tomato compress.Fresh vegetables are finely chopped and applied to the affected area with gauze. You can secure the compress with an elastic bandage. Keep for a couple of hours. Then repeat the update two more times. The procedure is harmless and suitable for everyday use.
• Cabbage compress.This requires normal vegetables. A leaf of white cabbage needs to be greased with soap and applied to a sore area, which must first be sprinkled with soda. Secure with a bandage, leave to stand overnight.
• alcohol compress.Moisten warm socks with vodka and place them on steamed limbs. Let stand overnight. The product effectively improves blood circulation.

Apply decoctions

Different types of decoctions are mainly used for pain relief. They are especially effective when it comes to internal forms of the disease (for example, varicose veins of the uterus), and the use of external means is impossible.

Recipes:

• Nettle tea.Two tablespoons of dry shredded plant are poured into 200 ml of water and brought to a boil. Let it cool down naturally and drink a quarter of a glass three times a day. The duration of the course is one month.
• marigold broth.Pour a few tablespoons with a glass of water and bring to a boil. You can add honey during the cooling process for flavor. Let sit for 30 minutes and drink a few hours before morning meal. You can drink your next glass after a few hours. And so several times a day. Treatment lasts for a month.

Adhesion and friction treatment

In the treatment of varicose veins with folk remedies at the initial stage, rubbing and application are actively used. They help clear the "cobweb" of blood vessels and slow the development of the disease.

There are different options:

• One of the most effective remedies for varicose veins is apple cider vinegar. It is diluted with a glass of water in the amount of 2 tablespoons, then moistened with gauze and applied to the affected area for 30 minutes.
• Boil the potato peels. Then they cool, grind and apply to the "star" of the vessels for a few hours.
• You can also bring a glass of water with 2 tablespoons of chamomile or wormwood to a boil. After cooling, rub into the affected skin.

Folk remedies are good for various diseases in the early stages. Compared to the methods of traditional medicine, they have a gentler effect on the body, have fewer side effects and contraindications. They are actively used in vascular pathologies: varicose veins of the uterus, lower and upper extremities, testicles. Especially at the beginning of the development of these diseases.

It is imperative that you consult your doctor for the best result. He will tell you which tools are best for a particular situation. When using traditional medicine, you should be patient. They work more slowly than synthetic drugs. But regular procedures will certainly have an impact.
