Varicose Veins leg

This may be over-ambitious, a tendency to varicose veins is often inherited and can require surgery (in serious cases) or in injections, administered by a doctor, to solve the problem once and for all. Get plenty of exercise, any exercise that involves the legs - walking, cycling, jogging is especially recommended as the contraction of the leg muscles pushes pooled blood back into circulation.

Eat healthy foods high in fibre (whole grains, raw vegetables, fruits) can counteract constipation. Straining can contribute to varicose veins. Berries (think cherries, blackcurrants, blackberries and other red berries) contain compounds which strengthens vein walls.

Do give your legs regular massage treatments too. Always working towards the heart and put your feet up whenever possible. Lying on the floor or bed with your legs up against the wall gives them a real break. Broken veins on the thighs, meanwhile can also be unsightly.

A short course of sclerotherapy treatment can remove veins. A solution is injected into the vein, setting up an irritation that in turn causes the walls of the veins to
collapse and stick together - so cutting off the blood supply. Two to three sessions are what's usually recommended and the veins take up to two months to disappear completely. Dermatologists and some beauty salons are qualified to carry out this technique. To prevent broken veins, avoid saunas, hot baths, stem treatments and too-vigorous body brushing or even massage, if you're prone to broken capillaries go lightly.
