Folk remedies for treatment of varicose veins or surgery?

Varicose veins disease is one of the most common human ailments, affecting predominantly the lower limbs and rectum. As a result of heavy physical labor, lifting and moving weights, prolonged stay on legs, and also wearing shoes with high uncomfortable heels, the first symptoms of this disease appear. These include: premature fatigue and heaviness in the legs, numbness, puffiness, nocturnal cramps, the appearance of a mesh of vessels on the surface of the skin, burning and redness.

Over time, the disease progresses, swelling of the lower extremities intensifies and painful sensations increase. At a late stage, if you do not visit a phlebologist, venous blood vessels form on the walls of the venous vessels, a serious complication arises - thrombophlebitis of the subcutaneous and deep veins, accompanied by trophic ulcers. The appearance of enlarged veins or venous nodes above the surface of the skin requires immediate treatment to the surgeon-phlebologist, since delaying the treatment process can lead to negative consequences.

At the initial stage of varicose veins, when many perceive enlarged veins only as an annoying cosmetic defect, folk remedies for treating varicose veins give a good result. Often, their use is justified at a later time, together with conservative treatment and even after surgery to prevent the formation of blood clots in the veins.

Recipes for the treatment of this disease have come to us from the depths of centuries and are traditionally divided into two types: applied externally and internally. Appliques and compresses with various ointments and mixtures refer to the first species, and broths and tinctures - to the second. Both types are aimed at strengthening the walls of blood vessels and improving venous circulation.

Decoction after a meal is taken in the first couple of days, starting with the third day and further - increasing the daily intake up to three times.

Tincture of horse chestnut from fruits or flowers to alcohol will help for a long time to forget about manifestations of insidious disease. Fifty grams of the plant (flowers or fruits) pour 0.5 liters of vodka and leave the tincture in a dark or shady place for a couple of weeks. We shake it once a day. We take ready infusion for 15 minutes before eating, three times a day (30 drops per 1 tablespoon of cool water). If this tincture is taken regularly, the course is one to two months, then the veins and capillaries are markedly strengthened, blood coagulability is normalized. This tincture not only softens blood clots, but also contributes to their gradual resorption.

Other folk remedies for treating varicose veins are used externally in the form of ointments and alcohol compresses. So, for example, crushed white garlic, mixed in a 1: 2 ratio with butter, is applied to a sore spot, which is wrapped in parchment, wrapped around with a scarf. This compress is left overnight.
