Popular Herbal Remedies for Varicose Veins
Varicose veins can be an unsightly condition that brings about a sense of self consciousness in its victims, especially for those of us living in hot and humid conditions where shorts that expose the legs are the most comfortable clothing options for dealing with high heat indexes.
This condition, caused by enlarged blood vessels, sometimes occurs by a weakening of the valve that keeps the blood from traveling backward up the legs, which in turn permits blood to pool in the vein, causing it to enlarge.
The smaller version of the condition known as spider veins are closer to the skin’s surface and can be red or blue in color.
Both spider and varicose veins tend to be hereditary, and often occur later in life, or with a increase in weight.
