Homemade ointments, decoctions and medicinal rubs, compresses and alcoholic tinctures for oral administration, according to the beliefs of traditional doctors, will heal you efficiently and cheaply in a short period of time.We do not intend to object;there are many excellent recipes in folk medicine.But as an official medical representative, we still urge you to find a reasonable combination - the use of folk recipes after discussing it with your doctor.And in any case do not reject the traditional treatment prescribed by your doctor.

We analyze the diet and prescribe proper nutrition

Nutrition for varicose veins is very important.If you are a confident meat eater and prefer sweet bread for dessert, varicose veins will love you, no doubt.And at the same time, obesity, metabolic problems, and many other unpleasant diseases will fall in love with you.

The optimal diet for the prevention of varicose veins is Mediterranean.It contains lots of vegetables, fruits, seafood and fish, but almost no meat or baked goods.Did you know that people who love Mediterranean cuisine rarely have problems with blood vessels?

Therefore, remember our advice when going grocery shopping at the supermarket.

Necessary compression with stockings

Compression garments for varicose veins are an excellent preventive and therapeutic tool.Do not confuse with shaping tights - these are different products.Special 3D equipment will help you choose the size of underwear and the level of compression you need, where you will not only be measured accurately, but also the condition of the leg vessels will be assessed.

We would not recommend buying and wearing compression stockings yourself.Only an experienced phlebologist can professionally determine the individual size and adjust the duration of wearing underwear.The issue price is a single negotiation.

Pregnancy: you can avoid varicose veins

Pregnancy is a physiological process, but the load on the lower leg veins increases significantly.Every expectant mother should know about this.

• The first thing a woman can do to prevent varicose veins is to adjust her diet as we mentioned above.
• The second is adequate physical activity.Walking in the air and wearing the right shoes will help your blood vessels.
• Special gymnastics is mandatory for pregnant women.Various movements of the legs, rolling from heel to toe do not create any special physical activity, but help the veins.Pregnancy is a period where sofa cushions are especially useful.If you lie down to rest, let your legs rest on the pillow - blood circulation in the limbs will be more active.
• If you are familiar with varicose veins before pregnancy, go to a phlebologist for additional advice.He will choose a compression garment for you and tell you how to wear it correctly and for how long.
