Varicose veins can be devastating to a person’s appearance. These dreaded nuisances are those stringy purple lines that seem to appear on a woman’s legs as she ages. Each year millions of women are afflicted with these unpleasant veins in their legs after having gone through childbirth or as they reach to point of menopause.

Extraordinary Health Magazine explains that varicose veins are caused when the blood in the veins has trouble getting back to the heart due to valves that are not working properly or veins with weak walls. Regardless of which theory may be correct, varicose veins are something no woman wants to contend with.

As these varicose veins begin to show their ugly face, a woman can experience pain, swelling, numbness, and fatigue in the legs. She may also feel the need to cover her legs at all times to avoid being embarrassed by these purple colored veins. As you search for a varicose veins remedy, you may incur a lot of expense as well as some pain accompanied by frustration. There are still many health insurance policies that refuse to pay for the costs associated with many removal procedures, including surgery. Plus, there is no guarantee that even the most expensive treatments will prevent the reappearance of varicose veins.

Regardless of the many hurtles they have to face, there are thousands of women who continue to try to find a vericose veins treatment so that they may begin showing their legs in public again. Many women tire of having to wear jeans or capris on hot days simply to hide their varicose veins; they would much rather wear a cute sundress or a fashionable pair of shorts.

The good news is that there are natural varicose veins remedies available that may help you. Lovely Legs, designed by Garden of Life, is a formula composed of a naturally occurring flavonoid called diosmin, which can be found in plant sources like the Bochu leaf and citrus fruits.

According to Life Extension Magazine, with the creation of Lovely Legs by Garden of Life, available at your local vitamin store, women may no longer have to simply accept the fact that they have varicose veins. The natural ingredients in Lovely Legs will help to tone the walls of small veins and capillaries, as well as help improve the overall circulation in your legs so that they are more beautiful and lively.

According to Dr. Emily Splichal, a New York City podiatrist, and Garden of Life medical advisor,

“Lovely Legs looks like it could have great success in increasing the tone in the veins and reducing the selling and heaviness that’s often associated with varicose veins.”

Cardiolin contains a potent, synergistic blend of botanicals, including horse chestnut, butcher’s broom, Gotu kola, and grapeseed, that have been clinically evaluated and shown to promote circulation and diminish the side effects associated with varicose veins. Cardiolin can be used as an alternative therapy for managing the symptoms associated with varicose veins and circulatory support, as well as to reduce the unsightly appearance of bulging, discolored veins.

Herbal varicose veins remedies are gaining in popularity and as research indicates, may be as effective as many compression therapies. Alternative therapies continue to be the primary choice for many varicose vein sufferers, as surgical procedures for treatment are quite invasive and involve the closing or complete removal of the affected vein. Ouch.

According to Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., “Lack of fiber allows pressure to build in the abdomen. This abdominal pressure in turn, creates back pressure on the veins from the legs, dilating them.”
