In France, the manifestations of venous insufficiency affect at least 18 million people, 10 million of whom have varicose veins.
Varicose veins? What are they?
Varicose veins of the legs are a dilatation of the veins under the skin which become tortuous with incontinence of their valves, and of a calibre higher than 3 mm in standing position. They can reach the lower limbs but also the anal area (hemorrhoids), the testicles, the vagina or the esophagus.
The venous return is in the opposite direction of the arterial circulation. Below the heart, the venous blood must fight against gravity. Its objective is to successfully return to the heart.
1-Crenotherapy, an anti-viral spa treatment
In France, there are thermal cures specialized in phlebology. The principle is to relieve the symptoms with warm and cool water baths, underwater massages, beverage cures and lymphatic drainages. Activities such as jet showers, vaporiums, hydromassage and limb modeling will tone the leg muscles and reduce the sensation of heavy legs and varicose veins.
2- Dietary rebalancing
Losing weight but also volume can help reduce blood thickening (hemolysis) and promote free blood circulation in the venous circuit. It is necessary to eliminate or limit foods containing saturated fats such as butter, margarine, red meat, cheese, refined oils, sweets and deli meats.
Add fresh vegetable juice as an appetizer, fruit outside of meals, drink plenty of water between meals, lemon juice without sugar.
3- Naturopathy, for a better global health
Nutrition, psychology and exercise are the pillars of naturopathy to achieve good health and vitality. Here are several tips from naturopaths to reduce varicose veins:
Drain the liver: There are plants called cholagogues that facilitate the evacuation of bile: boldo, chamomile, rosemary, artichoke, borage, fumitory, black radish.
A diet rich in fiber: Increase the consumption of fiber foods that promote the proper functioning of elimination and helps fight against constipation. In the case of varicose veins, it is important to have a bowel movement every day to free the lower abdomen and allow the blood circulating in the veins of the lower limbs to flow back to the heart.
