Varicose veins are a disorder of the small, one-way valves in the veins which weaken and allow back-flow and pooling of blood. The veins in our body are responsible for returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The blood returns more effectively to the heart with muscular action and motion of the surrounding tissues. Varicose veins most commonly occur in the legs. The veins become noticeable enlarged, winding and discolored. The walls of the veins become stretched and provide very little resistance to push blood back up to the heart and so the blood pools. This may cause the person some discomfort, usually made worse by standing on their feet for too long. There is a genetic tendency towards varicose veins and they occur more frequently in pregnancy and in smokers. Natural Solutions can help relieve the symptoms of varicose veins, prevent them from worsening, and prevent future reoccurrence.
