Varicose veins are not just unsightly, they're downright painful! Veins can become varicose when blood pools in the vein. This added pressure on the vein wall causes it to balloon out and become varicose. Organika's legaven helps to optimize the flow of blood through veins and also helps to improve the strength of vein walls. The active component aescin is clinically proven and is recommended by doctors in Europe.
Not everyone feels comfortable exposing their bare legs, often due to the appearance of varicose veins. Horse Chestnut is a natural remedy for vein health, by increasing vein elasticity and providing anti-inflammatory support.
What are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are swollen, enlarged veins occurring on the lower leg and occasionally the abdomen. They may start as small “spider” veins, and then gradually become larger over time, often becoming progressively painful. Several factors contribute to the development of varicose veins:
Varicose veins are often caused by enzymes that destroy the proteoglycan network in the veins, which reduces the strength of vessel walls, causing the veins to dilate and pool blood. Aescin (escin), a triterpenoid isolated from horse chestnut, helps to inhibit these damaging enzymes, increases the tone of the veins and improves return blood flow to the heart.
Diet and Lifestyle Support for Varicose Veins
Lifestyle changes to help with varicose veins include regular exercise and weight management. Avoid staying stationary for long periods of time because it stagnates circulation. Avoid tight clothing on the legs. Move the bowels regularly. Raise your legs above your heart level for 10-15 minutes every day. Alternate hot and cold leg baths to increase circulation. Massage around the area and towards the heart to ease blood congestion. Topically apply horse chestnut gel to the legs or add horse chestnut tea to bath water. It firms and tones vessels and reduces inflammation.
Dietary changes aimed at improving blood circulation and regulating bowel movements prevent varicose vein formation. Eat a high fibre diet to add bulk to the stool and maintain regularity. Eat whole grain products, flax seeds, fruits and vegetables. Eat one salad of raw vegetables daily. Be sure to drink 2L of filtered water daily to soften stools and maintain regularity. Eat citrus fruits and berries for bioflavinoids, which strengthen veins. Eat wheat germ, as a source of vitamin E, to improve circulation and tissue elasticity. Avoid constipating and irritating foods such as, dairy products, spicy food, fats, processed foods, salt, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, cola and black tea.
