Varicose veins is a condition that affects many if not most people when they enter their old age; this is to be expected, and you shouldn\u2019t worry too much about your health if you are past your fifties or older and suddenly experience spider veins when you didn\u2019t have a problem with them before.<\/p>\n

But if you are younger and suddenly start developing a problem with spider veins, then the condition might be more than just a worry for you: You might find it interfering with your daily life, and you might find that the condition gives you a huge knock to your self confidence that you would rather be without. If this is the case, then you might want to try a natural remedy to take care of the condition instead. Here are 15 of the best natural remedies that fight varicose veins quickly and let you get back to your life.<\/p>\n

1. Using a Foot Spa<\/h3>\n

The main cause of varicose veins apart from the fact that the lining of the arteries<\/a> in the affected area will be weakning over time is the fact that you might be putting too much pressure on your feet; this could be related to the type of job you have where you might be spending hours at a time on your feet, or it might be closer related to the fact that you have an underlying condition such as high blood pressure that puts more than necessary pressure on your legs, feet and circulation.<\/p>\n

If any of these are the case, then you will likely find that using a foot spa is one of the best things for you to take some of the pressure off your legs: It can do wonders for your levels of relaxation, and you\u2019ll feel much better as a result. Ensure that the water doesn\u2019t get too hot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

2. Going for Walks<\/h3>\n

If you haven\u2019t realized this yet, then you should know that one of the main causes for spider veins<\/a> is the fact that your artery linings are getting weaker combined with the fact that you might have some issues with circulation that need to be addressed sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to get the circulation in your feet and legs moving again, and one of the best ways is to get up and go for a walk. Make sure that you don\u2019t over-exert yourself, and go for short walks first \u2013 then longer ones as you adjust your fitness level. For varicose veins, you also want to make sure that you aren\u2019t wearing clothing, socks or shoes that restrict your movement and interfere with your circulation in any way as this can worsen the condition considerably. If you aren\u2019t sure about your walking routine, consult a health expert who can work out a proper fitness routine that\u2019s safest for you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

3. Eating More Garlic<\/h3>\n

If you find yourself struggling with varicose veins<\/a> or a heart condition, then you might want to add some garlic to your diet. Just a little bit of it added to your food can make it much more flavourful \u2013 and will inevitably improve your circulation, too. If you\u2019re worried about the effect that adding garlic to your diet might have on your breath, than you can just remember to eat some parsley along with or after the garlic \u2013 this often helps to neutralize the harsh flavour, and nobody around you will have to deal with garlic breath!<\/p>\n

You can also find garlic in a supplement that means you don\u2019t have to eat it, for the section of the population that might want the health benefits of garlic but not really enjoy the taste. Garlic is available cheaply at most supermarkets, and you can find the supplements in the health aisle if that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for instead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

4. Applying Massage<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a large chance that the condition of varicose veins can be accompanied by feeling a lot of painful, uncomfortable pressure in the affected area \u2013 if this is the case, then you will likely find that some healthy, easy, natural massage is the best way to combat the condition. Massage<\/a> can get circulation flowing and take off some of the pressure that causes the condition, but be careful that you don\u2019t press the area too hard \u2013 this can just as easily make the condition worse, and you could have a problem with bruising.<\/p>\n

If you have any problems with blood clots in your own medical history or that of your family, your best bet is to see a doctor about your condition before you attempt to take anything to fix it yourself. Remember: If you have a blood clot that you might not know about, then massaging it could be disastrous to your health and even be fatal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

5. Changing Your Diet<\/h3>\n

There can be many potential causes for spider veins, especially if you are experiencing the condition while you are still relatively young. In this case, then the condition is likely due to some type of lifestyle or environmental factor. Sometimes it\u2019s a kind of medication that you are taking which just isn\u2019t working for your body and instead manages to manifest with symptoms such as spider veins; in other cases, the condition can be attributed to something being wrong with your diet instead.<\/p>\n

If this is the case, then you should start out by cutting out any bad foods that could be affecting your blood pressure or cholesterol<\/a> in the long run. If this is the case, then start with a healthier diet. Visit your doctor or a nutrition expert if you aren\u2019t sure how to get yourself to the point where you are following a healthier diet or what eating better means for you. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

6. Eating More Jelly<\/h3>\n

Sometimes a condition like spider veins could mean that you just aren\u2019t getting enough of what you need out of your diet; malnutrition<\/a> can lead to a whole range of conditions and symptoms, which can include severe weight loss and a weakening of nearly everything in the body \u2013 including the heart, lungs and circulatory system. Just one way in which this could manifest is varicose veins, and if this happens to you then you should know you could use some serious adaptations in your diet.<\/p>\n

Start off by following a healthier diet than you are when you notice the condition, and try some of the other treatments on this list in combination with this. You can also try to eat jelly, which helps your body to build connective tissue \u2013 and might, in the long term, strengthen your arteries and veins, making the condition much less likely to happen to you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

7. Taking Supplements<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve already mentioned that you might not be getting everything you need from your diet; in fact, it\u2019s true that most people don\u2019t get what they need to out of their diet \u2013 and the majority of people need to get their recommended daily dietary requirements from other sources. Yes, this is why a lot of people \u2013 including most likely you reading this \u2013 will have the need to snack throughout the day to keep their energy levels going. It\u2019s not always the energy they are after, it\u2019s something that is lacking within their current diet.<\/p>\n

If this is true for you, then you will find a general multivitamin (or something more specialized if you have special dietary needs) will do absolute wonders for improving your health \u2013 and could even reduce the occurrence of spider veins. Make an appointment with your doctor if you find that the symptoms<\/a> stay the same or get worse in any way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

8. Applying Pressure<\/h3>\n

Spider veins can be one of the most uncomfortable conditions to live with; sufferers will know the feeling of discomfort and pressure that comes with the condition. One of the first things that you might want to do if you are suddenly struggling with spider veins and the associated pain is to apply either heat, cold or pressure to the affected area.<\/p>\n

All three of these things can reduce the internal pressure going on under the skin, making the prevalence of spider veins less \u2013 and improving the symptoms that you\u2019re experiencing now. Sometimes, your doctor might recommend compression socks or sleeves for the problem \u2013 though this should only be done on recommendation of a doctor, as it could be dangerous if you struggle with blood clotting on any level. Also make sure that you don\u2019t apply too much pressure, as this will only make the condition worse and could rupture more fine arteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

9. Using Essential Oils<\/h3>\n

Spider veins are a generally uncomfortable condition, and sometimes combining several of the methods that we\u2019ve mentioned on this list will help you take care of the condition. Varicose veins is a condition that\u2019s easy to manage once you make a couple of changes, and much easier once you manage once you find just what\u2019s causing the condition in the first place.<\/p>\n

One of the things that might bring you temporary relief from the condition is applying some essential oils<\/a> to the affected area along with very light massage \u2013 this helps to aid circulation, and many essential oils will leave your skin feeling great. Be sure to test any essential oils on a small part of the skin first to make sure that you aren\u2019t allergic to it before applying it to anything else, and remember that essential oils are normally best when they are diluted \u2013 take note of the carrier oil, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

10. Cutting Bad Foods<\/h3>\n

There are a few health conditions which can worsen symptoms like spider veins, or can even cause them to begin with . Just one of these conditions is high blood pressure. You should see your doctor if you are looking to control your blood pressure<\/a>, though you can also make a few small changes to your lifestyle to make the recommendations of the doctor more effective \u2013 and to ensure that you stay healthy.<\/p>\n

First, start cutting out all of what you would consider bad fats out of your diet: Yes, that\u2019s right, not all fats; just the bad ones. These are things like the grease that coat take-out food \u2013 that\u2019s a bad fat, and you usually know it when you\u2019re eating it. Good fats are things like full-cream milk and olive oil. This can help to keep your blood pressure down, and will likely reduce instances of varicose veins at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

11. Exercise<\/h3>\n

If you want to be healthier in general, then the first thing that your doctor will likely recommend to you is to change your lifestyle and start living a healthier life. This also means that you have to stay active with mild to moderate exercise<\/a>, too. This doesn\u2019t mean that you have to go running a marathon in a week, it just means that you have to make a few small changes \u2013 like taking the stairs or riding a bike to work; maybe just taking a small walk around the block.<\/p>\n

This can be great for your health, and will improve your blood pressure and heart health in the long run. Be sure that you never push yourself too far past your obvious limits \u2013 this can only be more dangerous for your health, and if you continue pushing then it could even prove to be fatal. A professionally-planned fitness routine is best.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

12. Vibration Therapy<\/h3>\n

If you have struggled with varicose veins for a while and feel like you have tried everything to try and live with the condition, then you shouldn\u2019t worry too much: There might still be hope for your condition. First, realize that the source of your condition could be as simple as a lack of circulation<\/a> \u2013 if this is the case, then being able to improve circulation should be enough to aid your condition to the point where it becomes easier to live with.<\/p>\n

Vibration therapy might be a huge help \u2013 if you didn\u2019t know this, all you have to do is change your foot spa to the vibration setting. Of course, there are also those vibrating belts that they sold through infomercials, but you might feel a little strange strapping one of those things to your feet as a therapeutic measure. If this doesn\u2019t change your condition or makes it any worse, then visit your doctor instead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

13. Changing Your Shoes<\/h3>\n

One of the foremost causes of varicose veins is the fact that you are causing far too much pressure on your feet, ankles or legs \u2013 and the pressure is subsequently causing veins<\/a> and small arteries to be affected. If this is true, then the feeling of pressure will usually accompany the bouts of varicose veins, and you might find that the area is additionally red, swollen and marked with pressure marks.<\/p>\n

If this is the case, then you should eliminate the cause of pressure and see if the condition gets any better \u2013 in most cases, all that you have to do is change your shoes or socks. If this adjustment isn\u2019t enough to fix it, you should make an appointment with your doctor so that the root cause of the problem can be tracked down and eliminated. Varicose veins shouldn\u2019t have to affect your life: In most cases, it\u2019s easy enough to manage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

14. Meditation and the Heart<\/h3>\n

Varicose veins is a condition that can sometimes be tied directly to the health of your circulation and your heart; if you have any form of high blood pressure or heart arrhythmia, then it can easily start to affect other parts of your body too \u2013 including, of course, your legs and feet.<\/p>\n

See your doctor if you think that this might be the case behind your varicose veins, and make some of the changes to your lifestyle that have been mentioned in this article. Along with following a healthy diet and getting to be a little more active, you could also try to add meditation<\/a> to this list \u2013 you will feel considerably better as a result. It has been proven through several studies that meditation is able to slow down the heart \u2013 and help any conditions associated directly with stress on the circulation or heart.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

15. Visiting a Doctor<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a slight chance that you might have tried all of the methods and techniques mentioned in this article and it has still not helped for you: Then, it is likely that you will need to visit your doctor to discuss your symptoms so that they can find the best course of action. Treating it yourself if you don\u2019t know what\u2019s causing the condition in the first place could prove to be dangerous for your long-term health<\/a>, and it\u2019s better to let your doctor help you to take care of it.<\/p>\n

Remember that your doctor will need to know the full scope of your symptoms, so remember to tell your doctor exactly when your symptoms started, and tell them whatever you think might make your symptoms any worse. Your doctor will also need to know your full medical history, and anything relevant that might have been diagnosed in family members over the years.\r\n
