Varicose veins occur when the veins become dilated, enlarged, and clogged with blood. This type of ailment is usually painful. The skin around the area became red or bluish-purple in color. The vein in the lower leg may even appear raised or swollen. Varicose Veins are very prevalent in women. However, with Ayurvedic, there is a permanent cure for varicose veins.

EFFECTS:

Varicose veins occur the moment the vein stop functioning properly. Our veins consist of one-way valves, which prevent blood from flowing backward. The moment these valves stop functioning properly, blood will start clogging in the vein rather than flowing towards the heart. Since the legs are farthest from the heart, once the veins start malfunctioning, blood will find it harder to flow upward due to gravity. Hence, clogging begins to occur. The veins will become dilated, and enlarged.

Symptoms:

The main symptom of varicose veins includes very obvious, misshapen veins, particularly on the legs. Such a person may also feel pain, heaviness, swelling, as well as aches in the legs. At times, there may be discoloration, swelling, or ulcers around the ankle area.

CAUSES:

• Chronic heart valve conditions

• Menopause

• Pregnancy

• Standing for an extended period

• Pressure along the midsection of the body, particularly the abdomen

• Obesity – Added body weight increases the pressure on the legs

DIAGNOSING:

Ayurvedic approach of diagnosing a disease is very unique and different from modern medicine. An Ayurveda Doctor examines patient and disease both for confirming the diagnosis and status of disease.

• Examination: The medical personnel will examine the legs and visible veins. You will be expected to sit or stand while the diagnosis is carried out. You may also be asked about the symptoms or pains you are feeling.

• Ultrasound test: An ultrasound test may be carried out to check the flow of blood. This consist of a non-surgical test that makes use of high-frequency sound waves. This gives the medical personnel a closer look at how the blood in the veins is flowing.

• Angiogram: An angiogram may also be used to further evaluate the veins. During the angiogram, a special dye will be injected into the legs by the medical practitioner. X-rays are then taken. The dye will be seen on the x-ray, providing the medical personnel a clearer view concerning the flow of blood.

Tests like an angiogram or ultrasound will help to confirm that a blockage or a blood clot is not responsible for the swelling or the pain felt in your legs.

DIET:

Deficiency in certain nutrients can also cause varicose vein. The skin begins to lose its elasticity. As a result of this, individuals are usually encouraged to take a balanced diet that can supply the body with essential nutrients.

These include:

• Diet rich in protein. This includes milk, legumes, meat, egg, and various other food substances rich in protein.

• Whole grain millet and wheat, instead of synthetically polished food grains.

• Fresh fruits and vegetables. This helps to supply the body with Vitamin C.

• Consume garlic, ginger, and onion for the proper distribution of the protein.

• Drink lots of water. This helps to keep the clean and detoxify the body system.

Prevention:

To prevent the occurrence of varicose vein, you may be asked to make lifestyle changes rather can trying more complex treatments. The following are lifestyle changes that can help in preventing the formation of varicose veins:

• Do not stand for an extended period.

• Avoid extreme exposure to the sun.

• Maintain a healthy weight. You can also try to shed some weight.

• Perform regular exercise. This will help in improving the strength of your leg.

• Desist from crossing your legs for a long period.
