Are there any good home remedies to get rid of vericose veins on legs?

1 If it helps, I had one of the top doctors in NYC & it cost my insurance 6-7k to fix my vein. It was fully covered.

2 Two herbs -- Horse Chestnut and Butchers Broom -- have been very helpful to me. They have taken away the sore, aching, tired feeling from my legs. I don't know if the *appearance* of my leg veins has improved or not.

They seem less noticeable now, but I've gained a little weight on my legs, so there may be more fat hiding some veins now. I had always been skeptical of herbal remedies, and normally would be the last person to recommend them, but those 2 specific pills have made such a difference to my quality of life. Background: I started getting varicose veins, and the aching that goes with them, when I was 16!

That is not a typo! Sixteen years old with varicose veins! And no, I wasn't pregnant or obese.

That was many years before I would even consider children. The varicose veins just got worse over the decades. The aching, TIRED feeling bothered me more than how they looked.

I usually wore jeans, slacks, or a long skirt to hide them. And I hate support hosiery. It's so uncomfortable, especially in summer.

Doctors either didn't take my complaints seriously, because it is not fatal; and in the past maybe they had no good treatment for it. A few years ago, I was reading some traditional, conservative woman's magazine, maybe it was Woman's Day or Ladies' Home Journal, but I can't remember. There was an article about several herbal remedies that actually have some scientific evidence for being effective.It said that the herbs Horse Chestnut and Butchers Broom were helpful for varicose veins.

I tried the herbs, and my legs started feeling better in a couple days. The local natural foods stores sell several brands of capsules with the herbs in them.Affordable. The usual common sense caveat: Of course you should talk to your doctor about any herbal remedies that you are thinking of trying.

Because (1) I'm not a physician, and (2) each person's body and health are different, and (3) natural herbs can still have side effects and/or interactions with other drugs/herbs. By the way, if you ever need surgery for anything in the future, be sure to tell the surgeon about which herbs you take, along with other drugs. Some herbs, and some other drugs, are not recommended for a few days before surgery and for a few weeks after surgery.

Since these 2 herbs have worked like a miracle for me, I'm surprised that they are not well known, especially since there is some scientific backing. Maybe because the herbs can't be patented, thus no pharmaceutical company is going to make big bucks by advertising them..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
