Varicose veins are one of those diseases of the cardiovascular system, which is increasingly common among young people, although until recently only older people were ill with them. For those who progress this disease, swelling of the legs is guaranteed. The fact is that with the slightest disturbance in the work of blood vessels, their blockage can occur.
Most often this is due to constant sitting or standing for a long time, in which there is a rush of blood and lymph to the lower extremities, which, due to poor functioning of the veins and blood vessels, are not able to carry out normal circulation. We will tell you how to deal with puffiness and varicose veins in the hot season.
How to treat varicose veins
The appearance of edema in the legs after a long stay in a sitting or standing position is one of the signs of varicose veins. Also, swelling can be a consequence of heart or kidney failure. Therefore, you should not hesitate to go to a phlebologist, because in order to choose a method of treatment, you need to know the cause of the disease: genetics or other problems.
Paradoxically, people who actively move all day, even with varicose veins, suffer from swelling much less. This is due to the fact that during movement, blood circulation increases, pressure rises, and lymph with blood moves through the vessels more easily.
HOW TO GET RID OF VARICOSIS AND Swelling
- Use pharmaceutical preparations-venotonics. Their action is aimed at maintaining the tone of the veins and blood vessels. They can completely get rid of the problem of edema, if there is no advanced stage of varicose veins.
- Prepare a natural ointment by mixing aloe juice, honey and grated carrots in equal proportions. This remedy helps to fight varicose veins. Apply it chilled - so it perfectly tones and prevents the appearance of puffiness. It is advised to use this traditional healer 3-4 times a day.
- It also helps to wear special compression underwear - knitwear, which allows you to keep your muscles in good shape and prevents excess fluid from accumulating in the tissues. They say that this underwear is not very comfortable, and in the summer you don’t particularly vilify it. But for a cold season, it’s just what you need. Alternatively, you can tightly wrap your limbs with bandages if you need to spend a long time in a sitting position, for example at work. The bandage does not allow the veins to stretch even more, which reduces swelling.
- Means based on bee products are very effective in the treatment of varicose veins. You can rub your shins and other problem areas with honey immediately after taking relaxing cool baths with essential oils. And if stickiness irritates you, then prepare a very good remedy. To do this, mix beeswax, propolis and olive oil in a ratio of 2: 1: 1. The result will please you very much.
- And of course, physical activity. If you can’t get out of work to take a walk, then at least a couple of times a day, walk around the office to prevent fluid from accumulating in your legs. Water sports help a lot. Join the pool or go for a swim in the local pond. And smear your legs with "Thrombocid" - the effect is really amazing.
