Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are commonly due to weak venous tone. Supplying proper nutrients and adding some specific foods to your diet helps tonify the vein's walls and prevent further varicose veins.

Products commonly recommended by Naturopathic Physicians for Varicose Veins are found below.

• VeinPro contains Aesculus which is researched to reduce varicose veins and strengthen veins.
• Bottoms Up Balm contains astringent herbs which, when applied on the skin over varicose veins, helps tighten the veins. This may relieve the pain and ugly appearance of varicose veins.
• Resveratrol Extra contains high amounts of resveratrol which has shown to benefit varicose veins.
• Green tea also has shown to reduce varicose veins due to the high levels of flavonoids.
• Vitamin C is well-known to improve venous tone.
• Calc Fluor 6x cell salt is recommended to strengthen body tissues which are lax. Add 25 tablets of Calc Fluor 6x to a liter of water and drink daily. Add a few dropperfuls of Liquid Calc Fluor 12X to Bottoms Up Balm to increase the efficacy.

• Eat dark colored berries and fruits. Blueberries are excellent for strengthening vein walls.
• Drink at least 8 cups of water per day. This helps keep your blood less viscous which makes it easier to travel up from your feet back to your heart.
• Wear compression stockings on airplanes or when standing for prologned periods of time. These help bring the blood back up to your heart and reduce pressure on the venous valves.
• Exercise your legs more with swimming, rebounding and walking. This engages your muscles. Since muscles surround many veins, increased pumping action occurs reducing pressure on the venous valves.
• Put your legs straight up on a wall at night while laying on your back. Do this AM, Lunchtime and PM. This drains excess blood out of your veins and reduces strain on venous valves.
