Welcome to Part 2
of the Varicose Veins Natural Treatment Episode. I'm doctor Janine Bowring a
naturopathic doctor and I hope you enjoy part 1
All about varicose veins why we get them and what we can do naturally to treat
them at home
In this episode I'll share with you some super exercises and acupuncture points
that you can do at home to treat your veins and increase your leg circulation
so now I'm gonna share some acupuncture points which are really helpful if you have varicose
or spider veins
these are called the spleen points and I will demonstrate exactly where they are
on the legs and you can just press these you don't need to do you know
acupuncture with a needle you just press these points do this for about you know
five to 10 minutes
every day really helps to stimulate the energy or the chi
in that channel in the spleen channel getting rid of dampness or edema
swelling in the legs and getting that
leg circulation going as well so if we take a look at these points in first way
the easiest way to mark the first point is to find that ankle bone on the inside
so just put your leg up as I am
and you put your hand down so that your pinky finger lines up
with your inside ankle bone and where your hand ends up
is roughly the point on your legs, so if I lift my jeans up here you can see
and you're gonna dig in their sort of with your thumb which tends to be your
stronger finger
and when you find that point this is called spleen 6 when you find that point it
actually it kinda grabs you can actually feel that there's a bit of an ache
in that area... now you know you've actually stimulate the chi and just
do little small circles
in a clockwise manner
on that point and again if you can do this for five to ten minutes so
you know about two minutes on each point would be ideal
for your daily session to get that energy flowing through the spleen
channel
now the next point is just below the knee so
if you mark where the creases in your knee when your knee is bent
even with your pants on you can see where this is again use your hand
to measure that point and woah! I can feel it its right their
my spleen must be blocked today
and again just massage in small
circular motion right on that point this is called
spline 9 in this really helps to get that circulation going
in that spleen channel helps with those varicose veins so you do this on both
legs so
even if one leg is worse than the other I'd like you to do it on both legs
and again about two minutes per point so now I'll be sharing some fantastic
exercise that you can do while you're sitting even if you're sitting at
work sitting at your desk
this is so simple for you to do and nobody will even know that you're doing
about this really important if you're sitting for long periods of time
you get the blood flowing in the legs so
first what I'd like to do is called heel digs so basically
you're just one foot at a time putting
your heel and you can see I got my high heels on
you can see that this is really easy to do even with your high heels ladies
just to get that blood flowing
in those legs and this is fantastic
and again do this as much as you can throughout the day especially if you've been
sitting for more than 20 minutes or so you have to get that blood flowing
this is important when you're on an airplane as well save may have heard of
people having stir strokes and things on airplanes because that
decreased circulation really important to do this
as you're sitting the other thing you can do is go on your heels
and your toes your heels and your toes
I repeat this about 20 times and do it throughout the day so if you can do you
know 20 repetitions of this
three times a day during your you know six to eight hour workday
absolutely fantastic forgetting that blood flowing
okay perfect so I hope you joining in with me with this one
and give me a thumbs up because you love this exercise
on this video they also have some great standing exercises these are similar to
the ones when you're sitting
so if you prefer to do the standing all the better and this is what you do you
so we'll do heel digs first
so basically you're just putting your heel on the floor
and again you can see that I have my high heels on
and it works fantastic so you can actually
start to feel that blood flowing and you're getting that circulation going
in the leg and you can do it you know if you have stability issues you can
certainly hold on to something
as you doing this the back of the chair but this is a great way and you can do
it at your own pace about 20 repetitions
of your heel digs now the next one
is walking on your toes so o.k. of course only if you're stable
on your toes as you're walking maybe shouldn't wear high heels for this one
but I'm gonna show you anyways I'm going to yank up
my pants so you can see exactly it is possible
you may want to hold on to something so basically walking
on your toes and this helps to flex
your gastrocnemius muscle your calf muscles
getting and forcing that blood up
back up to your heart which is fantastic so that's actually good workout for
your lower legs as well see you do this you know for about
thirty seconds to a minute even longer if you can depending on your level of
fitness
but a great way to get the blood flowing back up to the heart
