Varicose Veins Support
Veins, which return blood to the heart, contain valves that keep blood from flowing backward as a result of gravity. When these valves become weak, blood pools in the veins of the legs and causes them to bulge. These enlarged vessels are called varicose veins. Standing and sitting for long periods of time, lack of exercise, obesity, and pregnancy all tend to promote the formation of varicose veins. Sometimes varicose veins are painful, but elevating the affected leg usually brings significant relief.
What are the symptoms of varicose veins?
Symptoms of varicose veins may include a dull pain, itch, or heavy sensation in the legs. The sensation is worse after prolonged standing and better when the legs are elevated. Varicose veins typically appear on the legs as dilated, tortuous veins close to the surface of the skin, and may look blue. Advanced varicose veins may cause ankle and leg swelling or skin ulcers.
How is it treated?
Conventional treatment is to elevate the legs frequently, avoid prolonged standing or sitting, and wear compression stockings with supportive shoes. Other treatments include surgery to remove the vein, laser therapy, or sclerotherapy (which involves the injection of a chemical solution into the vein to cause it to close). Any skin ulcers that develop are treated with compressive bandages that contain antibiotic solutions.
Lifestyle changes that may be helpful:
Keeping the legs elevated relieves pain. People with varicose veins should avoid sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time and should walk regularly.

Varicose Veins
Our Circulatory System consists of Heart, Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries, which work together to manage the Blood flow in our body. Veins and Arteries, in severely branched form, run throughout our body, branching eventually into fine Capillaries, to collect and supply Blood, respectively. Veins collect impure (Deoxygenated - without Oxygen) blood from different parts of the body and bring it to the Heart for purification. In the mean time, the Heart pumps pure blood (Oxygenated – Oxygen rich) into Arteries to supply it to the entire body. All goes fine until some malfunctioning starts influencing the systematic working of the body. One such problem of Cardiovascular System is Varicose Veins, a condition found in the Veins of Legs.
As mentioned above, Veins bring impure blood “to” the Heart from the rest of the body. These Veins have special Valves to prevent the back flow of blood due to Gravity. Owing to long Sitting and/or Standing hours, lack of Exercise, Obesity, and Pregnancy however, these Valves may get stressed up and may not work very effectively and the impure blood, which is Purplish in color, flows back and starts pooling in the Veins. Owing to this, the Veins swell up and may acquire Purplish color of the impure Blood. These Veins are called Varicose Veins. Varicose Veins may result in slight Pain, Itching, or Heaviness in the Legs, which may terminate into Ankles & Legs Swelling, and Skin Ulcers. VitaDigest brings some effective products to provide relief from the complications of Varicose Veins. Let us look at them.
