Chronic Venous Insufficiency, Thrombophlebitis, and Varicose Veins


 

Natural treatment used for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI):

Natural extract for leg swelling in chronic venous insufficiency (CVI): Swelling (edema), leg ‘heaviness’, and pressure in the veins were significantly reduced in a study with 40 patients after the use of Pycnogenol at a dose of 100 mg, 2-3 times per day for 2 months No side-effects were reported. (7)

Pycnogenol, French maritime pine bark extract, significantly reduced swelling (edema), pain, and leg heaviness in patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition in which veins do not return blood from the legs to the heart well and is associated with leg swelling, leg pain, and itching. For 2 months, participants (n=40) received Pycnogenol 100 mg x 3/day or placebo. Findings show that in about 60% of patients administered Pycnogenol swelling disappeared, pain was reduced, and 33% had reduced leg heaviness. No changes were seen in the placebo group. (8)
