Natural Vein Removal Treatments

There are a number of natural treatments you can use for your varicose veins or spider veins. A home remedy for varicose veins, however, shouldn’t be expected to provide the same results as vein surgeries or laser vein treatments. At-home varicose vein treatments should really be looked at more as preventative measures than methods to permanently eliminate varicose veins. This being said, natural treatments really can help, and might be a good way to start treating your vein condition.

• Compression Stockings—An elastic support stocking is worn to help blood flow in your legs. Graduated compression stockings can not only improve circulation in varicose veins, but also can reduce swelling and provide relief for the discomfort caused by varicose veins.

• Leg Elevation—This natural vein treatment requires you to elevate your legs several times a day. By raising your legs above your heart for 10-15 minutes, the blood pooled in your varicose leg veins should drain from your legs.

• Exercise & Weight Loss—There’s no real evidence that exercise can help remove varicose veins, but any activity that gets your legs moving can only help your cardiovascular system and blood flow. Also, the added weight loss will take any unnecessary strain off your leg veins.

• Avoid Long Periods of Sitting or Standing—Sitting or standing for too long can obstruct blood flow. As a natural way to reduce varicose veins, try to move around at least every half hour. Also, try not to sit with your legs crossed, as it will just worsen your circulatory problem.

• Proper Skin Care—Lotions can prevent skin from cracking and bursting blood vessels around the face and nose. Everyone should use a daily antioxidant, avoid too much sunlight, and wear sunscreen, especially the fair skinned!

• Anti-Inflammatory Medication—Ibuprofen or aspirin can thin the blood and be used along with compression stockings to treat minor thrombosis. Natural varicose vein treatments cannot help with more serious forms of thrombosis. If you have a more serious case, such as Deep Vein Thrombosis, you should consult a physician or vein clinic.
