If you are like most people these days your dollar has to stretch much further than it used to. When you get sick you cannot afford to go to the doctor because your insurance is not sufficient or you have no insurance at all. Still there are times when you need to find some kind of cure or home remedy for various conditions you suffer from. One of those may be a home remedy for varicose veins.
At first you may notice a slight swelling along the course of veins in your legs. Then you may develop slight pain and tiredness in the legs, especially behind the knees. You also may develop leg cramps that are very uncomfortable and can even interrupt your sleep.
All of this may be an indication that you are developing varicose veins or spider veins. Either way you will find them to be unsightly and uncomfortable. There are actually several things that you can do for home remedies of varicose veins.
Elevating your feet several times a day will help keep down the swelling. It will also help to keep the blood flowing naturally. This usually works best if no varicose veins have formed but it can also work fairly well if the veins are in the early stages.
Wearing support hose can also help treat and prevent the formation of varicose veins. The hose provide support to the leg area and help to promote healthy blood flow through the veins.
Home electric cauterizing machines for varicose veins can be a great way of dealing with those pesky veins that suffer from insufficient blood flow. Cauterization destroys the tissue with either an electric current or a hot iron. For those who are squeamish, this is probably not a method you would prefer. It is often difficult to inflict pain on your own body when you know that pain is coming. Both electrical and heat cauterization can cause some degree of pain or discomfort. This method is great for those who can stand it because it destroys the tissue and allows the vein to shrivel up and die from lack of blood flow.
The herb marigold is a great home remedy for varicose veins. It can be used as a compress that is applied to the affected area to decrease inflammation and ulceration. This home remedy has been used by many people for a long time and is proven to be safe and effective.
Drinking raw vegetable juices have been known to help increase circulation and decrease the development of varicose veins. The juices that prove to be the most beneficial are carrot and spinach juices. This type of therapy is also helpful for many other ailments and helps promote healthy skin.
Fasting on fruit juices for four or five days has proven to greatly improve circulation and help decrease the symptoms of varicose veins. Fresh juice is better but if fresh is not available you should try to find juice that is all natural fruit juice without added sugars. Once coming off of a fruit fast you should then start to eat a well balanced diet that contains plenty of grains, seeds, raw vegetables, fresh fruits, and nuts. This will not only aid in proper circulation but it will also make you healthier in general.
