It is not peculiar to note distention of portions of the large veins in the legs as folks age. This is more common to those people whose roles need them to stand at a longer time. This quiescent, upright position produces stagnation of the blood in the legs. Hence pressure and a steady strain on the walls of the venous system at that point results to permanent distention, or ?varicose veins.?

Varicose veins might be stopped and stopped if at an early stage, those people who usually stand tedious hours at work will change their roles. But, during middle age when this affliction occurs, it could be quite impossible to stop or cure it with lotions or other medical remedy.

Surgical operation can cure and relieve the discomfort. However, aside from being a pricey process, it might cause you your job when you can?t go to work due to healing time. Using an elastic stocking can provide relief but can’t cure.

The first sign of a varicose vein is a dull, aching pain. The vein becomes larger, knotted and distended. In extraordinary cases a rupture of the wall occasionally follows. This is infrequent but always possible.

The veins are the vessels that serve to return the blood from the capillaries of the different parts of the body to the heart. The veins are found in nearly each tissue of the body. They are bigger and altogether more many than the arteries. Thus , the complete capacity of the venous system is much greater than the arterial. The arteries, which are denser in structure than the veins, are also stronger and more elastic. They also preserve their cylindrical form when empty.

The veins don’t have this property, and collapse when not filled with blood. They have thinner walls than the arteries and are not so well supplied with muscular fiber. Hence they are far more responsible to distention at any part where stagnation is liable to occur. All of the larger veins are provided with valves. These valves serve to prevent the flowing back of the blood. They are attached by their convex edges to the walls of the veins. Their concave margins are free and directed in the course of the venous current. They lie in close apposition with the wall of the vein as the current of blood takes its natural course.

If, any stagnation or regurgitation occurs, the valves at that place become deformed, their opposed edges are brought into contract. The present then is intercepted, and a distention of the wall of the vein ensues, which distention we know as that extremely unpleasant affliction, a varicose vein.

As the primal basis of the trouble is stagnation of the blood at that point, acceleration of the circulation there would relieve that congestion ; and the sole way this may be possible is by friction. The best methodology for attaining this is with the dry palm of the hand, and the most convenient time? in bed and in the early morning. The conditions are then favorable, as the body is relaxed and will readily reply to cleverly directed efforts towards its rejuvenation or improvement.

The trouble will most possibly appear upon the interior of the, leg below the knee, running along the calf of the leg, but it may extend several inches above the knee and along the interior of the thigh. With increased years, the congestion of the superficial veins will extend lower down, right away above and around the ankle. This could become discolored and assume a deep bluish hue thanks to the stagnant blood.

Relief is got by friction, with the middle of the hand, daily and steadfastly. This exercise will relieve the congestion and will bolster the minute muscles that support the venous walls. And if endured in methodically and methodically, will finally restore the twisted venous valves to their proper position and the difficulty will disappear. It is a straightforward, simple and effective remedy for a particularly irritating affliction. I talk from personal experience.

The most convenient position is lying on your side. Commence with 20 strokes of the hand up and down, following the course of the vein. Increase to one hundred strokes as the skin becomes toughened and used to the friction. In an ordinary stage, this exercise can guarantee remarkable results.
