AN A-Z OF LUMBAR OR PAIN AND LEG PAIN: VARICOSE VEINS
At any age, prevention is better than cure. It is always worthwhile to keep the pelvis and lower spine in good ‘running order’ so no undue pressure is exerted on the circulatory system to and from the legs. As you become older, lymphatic drainage is important along with exercise and adequate rest for the legs.
If you’ve had varicose veins for a long time, it is more a matter of easing than curing. Vitamin E is necessary to maintain the elasticity of the veins. Remember though, that you must start on a low dosage and gradually increase it.
Take vitamin C with bioflavinoids, vitamin B6, buckwheat, calcium fluoride and silicea cell salts. All are recommended food supplements to persevere with. Constipation must be treated early so keep the motion soft by taking slippery elm.
Use calendula or witch hazel ointment with a pharmaceutical anti-coagulant to rub gently into the soreness. Drink rose hip and equisteum tea instead of ordinary tea and coffee.
Those in severe pain with varicose veins should put on their elastic support stockings before they get out of bed.
