Varicose Veins Natural Treatment

Repeated Sitting or Standing

The deep veins in the perforating veins are usually able to withstand very short periods of increased pressure.  However, if you are susceptible, repeated standing or sitting can stretch the walls of the veins and damage the valves.  Varicose veins may results.  Spider veins are a milder case of varicose veins which are not a serious medical problem but can be a cosmetic concern.

Varicose veins become swollen and you can see them through the skin.  They may look blue, bulging and are twisted.  If they are left untreated they become worse over time and can cause feelings of fatigue as well as some skin changes in the area in which they occur.  This is because the venous system which normally drains the area of waste and toxins is no longer functional.  As many as 40 million Americans, the majority of them women, have varicose veins.
