How to treat varicose veins and spider veins naturally.
[Varicose & Spider Veins Treatment]
Varicose veins are swollen or enlarged veins that usually occur on the legs or the feet.
They usually have a dark blue or purple colour, and are often bulging, twisting or lumpy in
appearance.
Spider veins are very similar but are smaller blood vessels that can be red, purple or blue
and are easy to see beneath your skin.
If you have either of these problems, then this is a positive indicator that you have
poor blood circulation through your body.
In today's video I'm going to share with you 3 ways to treat varicose and spider veins
naturally.
You will also learn about what causes these enlarged blood vessels and the best supplements
to help heal them.
How The Veins Work
Your heart pumps blood through your arteries to your extremities such as your hands, fingers,
feet and toes.
This is to transport nutrients and oxygen.
Then once the oxygen is used up, your veins carry the old blood from your feet and hands
back up to your heart to recycle.
Sometimes the walls of your veins and the small valves in them become stretched and
damaged, making them less elastic.
This causes blood to flow backwards, or in the wrong direction.
So you begin to notice your veins becoming enlarged and darker blue/purple in colour.
This is what we call varicose or spider veins.
What Is Causing My Veins To Enlarge?
The number 1 and most common cause of varicose veins is a hormonal imbalance in the body,
caused by having too much estrogen.
Estrogen is a group of 3 hormones which are the primary female sex hormones, but are also
present in men.
If these hormones become out of balance, then all sorts of problems can begin to occur in
the body.
Varicose veins and spider veins are one of the complications of high estrogen, which
can also to lead to swollen feet, blood clots, skin ulcers and aching in the thighs and legs.
Having high estrogen also causes a certain body shape in women.
As you can see on the image to the left, women with estrogen dominance tend to carry weight
around the hips, thighs and buttocks.
Another symptom of high estrogen is a fat pouch below the belly button,
Craving dairy foods often such as ice cream or cheese,
Or consistent pain in the knees, the back and the hips.
Why Are My Hormones Out Of Balance?
There are many reasons that you may have an imbalance in estrogen in your body.
High Estrogen in Women.fw Women are most commonly affected by this and
get varicose veins after pregnancy, or during or after menopause.
The high estrogen levels cause the veins to balloon out, making them bulge outward and
appear darker in colour.
They may also appear twisted.
Hormonal Therapies
The contraceptive pill or implants for women also contain a high amount of estradiol, a
potent form of estrogen.
If you have used these for many years, it can cause a major hormonal imbalance , so
you may wish to try other forms of contraception.
HRT pills are also given to women to replace hormones after menopause, but these can also
cause an imbalance leading to varicose veins and spider veins.
Estrogenic Foods
Unfortunately most of our fruits and vegetables are GMO, meaning that they grow with added
chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides and insect replants.
These chemicals have been shown to disrupt the normal hormones in our bodies, and cause
an imbalance with estrogen.
The same happens with our meat, as the animals are fed GMO grains and injected with growth
hormones.
So when we eat these animal products they cause estrogen imbalances and heighten the
risk of cancer.
Being Overweight
The body naturally produces estrogen.
So if you are carrying more weight than you should be, your body may be making too much
of this hormone.
Being overweight also puts additional pressure on your veins which can make them stop working
properly, causing the blood to flow in the wrong direction.
How To Heal Your Veins
Now that you understand what may be causing your veins to enlarge, you can take the following
3 steps to start fixing the root problem in order to heal your veins.
1.
Start eating lots of organic, none GMO vegetables in the cruciferous family every single day
to balance your hormones.
Kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, Bok choy, radish and cauliflower are all excellent
choices.
These vegetables contain natural compounds that help your liver to remove excess estrogen
from your body.
We also recommend garlic, onions, shallots, pasture raised eggs and wild caught cod.
2.
Cut back on reined foods, vegetable oils, sugar and alcohol.
Remove refined flour foods like bread, cereal, biscuits and pastries from your diet.
Refined foods cause fat to build up in your liver, which creates more estrogen in your
body and puts pressure on your veins.
You may also take digestive enzymes to help support your liver in removing toxins from
chemicals in the environment.
3.
Improve blood flow and circulation through your veins by exercising intensely for 5 minutes,
3 times per week.
This must be a form of high intensity training, such as jumping jacks, using an exercise bike
or running on the spot.
This is an important step, because you need help stimulate the veins to help remove pools
of blood that are trapped.
By following these 3 steps, you will begin to notice changes in your health as your hormones
start to balance out.
Over time you can begin to reverse varicose and spider veins, as normal blood flow returns
and your veins begin working properly.
How Long To Heal My Veins
By losing weight, balancing out estrogen and exercising regularly, it can take anything
between 6 months to 3 years to fix this problem.
Healthy eating and regular exercise must be maintained in order to correct the underlying
causes of these issues.
However, it is possible to speed up the healing process of the body by taking some additional
supplements.
Supplements To Heal My Veins
Now, we will take a look at 3 important supplements that you can use to help speed up the healing
process.
1.
Sea Kelp Take a daily supplement of sea kelp, natures
richest source of iodine.
The iodine in this helps to balance out estrogen levels, so that you may lose weight and prevent
further damage to the veins.
This is also excellent for PMS, heavy periods, and fluid retension.
2.
Digestive Enzymes To balance your estrogen hormones, you need
a strong and healthy liver.
Start taking 2 capsules of digestive enzymes before each meal.
Make sure your chosen brand contains Ox Bile or purified bile salts.
This helps your liver to break down fat, and detoxify hormone disruptors.
This is also very helpful for losing excess weight around the hips.
3.
Horse Chestnut You may also take a useful herb called horse
chestnut as a supplement.
250g per day helps to reduce symptoms of poor blood circulation, such as varicose veins,
spider veins, swelling in the legs, itching and water retention.
These supplements all work together to improve blood flow around the body, by fixing the
underlying problem of high estrogen and also improving liver function.
We also recommend that you eat lots of foods rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin E, as these
are both powerful antioxidants that strengthen and heal the veins.
Summary
Varicose Veins and Spider Veins are usually caused by abnormally high amounts of the estrogen
hormone in the body.
Your liver is able to balance out these hormones on its own when you stop consuming estrogenic
foods and pills.
Eating cruciferous vegetables which are none-GMO is the best way to help detox these hormones
and supply lots of Vitamin C and antioxidants to help heal the veins.
Getting regular high intense exercise which focuses on the legs is also essential for
improving blood circulation and protecting the veins from further damage.
