Folk treatment of varicose veins

The disease of the lower extremities, which is now called varicose veins, has been known since ancient times. Traditional medicine is rich in various recipes that help not only to alleviate the patient's well-being, but also to completely get rid of the disease. Various alcohol tinctures, herbal decoctions, infusions or, simply put, phytotherapy act as effective folk remedies that make up the folk treatment of varicose veins.

Medicinal properties of flower pollen

Another method worth mentioning is the treatment of flowers for people who, by the will of fate, are faced with the problem of varicose veins: treatment with this method can be very useful.

Flower pollen, as well as honey and propolis, have been used for medicinal purposes for a long time. It contains manganese, which has a great influence on the processes of hematopoiesis and is very valuable in varicose veins, although only in the early stages.

Due to the fact that flower pollen has a very high content of biologically active components, it should be used in minimal doses.

Medicine based on flower pollen: flower pollen and honey are mixed. The resulting remedy is taken in the form of 1/3 teaspoon, 3 times a day, for a course of 30 days.

Treatment with grapes

The ampelotherapy method has shown, over many years of use, excellent results in defeating varicose veins.

Not all grapes have high medicinal properties, but only some of them, for example:

• "Semillion".
• "Chaushi".
• "Riesling".
• "Chasla".

There are different ways to use grapes for medicinal purposes:

• For 3 days, eat 0.5 kg of fresh grapes on an empty stomach, without removing the skin and seeds.
• Prepare a raisin decoction: 100 grams of berries per 1 glass of water. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Cool. Strain. Take a glass immediately before meals.
• You can also use grape pomace to your advantage by soaking your feet in it for 30 minutes daily.
• Daily consumption of 1 glass of fresh red grape juice improves blood circulation.

Treatment with honey

It has been used for therapeutic and preventive purposes relatively recently. It is worth immediately focusing on an important point. The method, although useful, is very painful, so it should not be used on people whose skin is overly sensitive to pain, who have wounds on the skin or pustular diseases.

In addition, the use of honey is contraindicated for people with allergic reactions to this natural product.

People with varicose veins are treated with honey in the form of massage procedures and honey wraps. To achieve greater results, various aromatic oils are used during the procedure, which have a relaxing effect on the body, as a result of which the penetration of honey into the thickness of the skin occurs faster.

Treatment of varicose veins with Vanga's recipes

Wake up before sunrise, put on clean cotton socks and walk in the dew. Walk until the socks are completely soaked with morning moisture. Take off the socks only after they are dry.

Treating Varicose Veins with Apple Cider Vinegar

It has already been proven that apple cider vinegar helps stimulate the work of blood vessels. In case of varicose veins, apple cider vinegar should be applied to the affected veins twice a day, in the morning, immediately after waking up and in the evening, before going to bed. External use of vinegar is combined with drinking water - 2-3 glasses, adding two teaspoons of the same apple cider vinegar to each glass.

Fresh potatoes treat varicose veins

For medicinal purposes, use raw potatoes, grated on a fine grater. The resulting gruel is applied to the ulcer, which often forms with varicose veins. The applied gruel is covered with several layers of gauze or clean cotton cloth, leaving it for about 5 hours.

After the specified time has passed, the gruel can be replaced with a new one or simply refreshed by wetting the bandage with freshly squeezed potato juice.

Apply a compress of freshly squeezed potato juice to swollen veins. The juice can be taken internally along with the compresses.

Cabbage leaf with oil disperses thrombophlebitis

This simple method of treatment is very simple. Cut a regular leaf of fresh cabbage, wash it, soften it with a rolling pin. Apply any vegetable oil to one side and apply this side to the sore area of the leg. Apply a bandage on top, fix it loosely and leave for 24 hours. Continue treatment for 30 days.

Three Antonovka apples, pre-washed, are placed in an enamel pan and filled with boiling water, about 1 liter. The pan is tightly closed and wrapped warmly. After four hours, the apples, right in the pan, without removing from the water, are thoroughly mashed.

Strain the resulting mass. Take the resulting liquid, 50 ml on an empty stomach, morning and evening, preferably adding a little honey (no more than 1 teaspoon).

White acacia flowers prepared as a tincture are a good external remedy for the treatment of thrombophlebitis, radiculitis, bruises, rheumatism. This tincture is also suitable for varicose veins. You just need to generously smear the sore spots with the tincture and rub it thoroughly into the skin.

It is better to prepare hops in a water bath at the rate of 1 tablespoon of cones per 200 ml of boiling water. Keep in a water bath for no more than 15 minutes. This solution is enough for 1 dose, because you need to drink 200 ml 3 times a day, certainly before meals.

Before drinking the decoction, soak a small piece of gauze in it and apply it to the sore veins for 30 minutes.

Kalanchoe flowers

The leaves of this flower are used to treat a great many diseases, as they are so rich in various substances and microelements that are close to our body in composition and therefore easily absorbed by it.

We will prepare a tincture from Kalanchoe. You will need:

• Glass bottle with a capacity of 0.5 liters.
• Alcohol, 40% - about half a liter.

Fill a bottle halfway with crushed Kalanchoe leaves, fill with alcohol until full. Put it in the darkest place for a week. Once a day, take out the bottle and shake the contents. On the eighth day, strain the resulting infusion and use it as a rub every night.

Rub the tincture into the sore legs with circular massage movements from the heel to the knee. The course of treatment is at least four months.

Green walnuts, celandine and wormwood

Green walnuts contain a large number of medicinal components that are better absorbed into the skin in combination with oil. This is how the recipe for making healing oil appeared.

Chop walnuts (necessarily green) into small pieces, pour into a glass jar, fill half and fill with olive oil until full. Place in a sunny place. After 40 days, the medicine is ready. Apply externally.

Celandine tincture is good for internal use, and at a rate of 9 drops of tincture per tablespoon of any milk. Taken before meals, 3 times a day.

Take the inflorescences and leaves from the wormwood. Grind them in a mortar. Mix the resulting gruel with sour milk in a ratio of 1:1, using a tablespoon as a measure. Apply the resulting product to a gauze bandage and apply to the dilated veins. Perform the procedure for 3-4 days in a row, then take a break for a few days and repeat again.

Treatment of varicose veins with birch chaga

Before you start preparing a medicinal infusion from birch chaga, you should know that during treatment with this infusion, you should definitely completely give up fatty, fried, smoked and canned food. These dishes can be introduced only 2 weeks after completing the course of treatment with chaga.

Method of preparation of chaga No. 1

Collect and dry the raw materials. Any oven is suitable as a drying place. Dry chaga is poured with boiled water and infused for 5 hours, after which it is ground using a meat grinder.

Strain the resulting liquid, pour it into a separate container and leave it in the refrigerator. Fill the existing gruel with water and leave it in a dark place for 2 days, tightly covering it with a lid.

After 2 days, remove the pulp, strain the liquid that has formed in it and mix it with the liquid that remains in the refrigerator.

The resulting liquid is the medicinal infusion. It should be taken 3 times a day, half an hour before meals. This potion is stored in the refrigerator for only 3 days.

Method of preparation of chaga No. 2

You can buy any of the chaga preparations at the pharmacy. As a rule, the packaging contains instructions for preparing a solution for 1 dose. If there is no such instruction, then the preparation should be diluted in the following ratio: 2 teaspoons of the preparation per 3/4 cup of warm water.

Directions: 1 tablespoon, 3 times a day, half an hour before meals.

Treatment of varicose veins with foot baths

Clogged veins are perfectly opened after using special foot baths with herbs. It is most effective to combine baths and taking herbal infusions or decoctions at the same time. For example, the following are perfect for this purpose:

• Chamomile.
• Succession.
• Oak bark and branches.
• Chestnut.
• Willow.
• St. John's wort.

Foot Bath Recipe #1

Take 500 grams of oak, chestnut and willow branches. Place in an enamel bowl, fill with water and put on the fire. Boil for 30 minutes from the moment of boiling. Then add the herbs:

• Succession.
• Chamomile.
• Marsh cudweed
• St. John's wort

Take 200 grams of each herb. Remove from heat and leave overnight. Separately, before taking a bath, steam 3 loaves of rye bread. Mix with the decoction prepared the day before. Baths are taken daily an hour before bedtime. Keep your feet in the decoction for no longer than 40 minutes. The temperature of the bath is 40 degrees.

Foot Bath Recipe #2

The ingredients are the same as in the first recipe, only taken in different proportions. Grind oak, willow and chestnut branches and take 1 tablespoon per 1 liter of boiling water. Boil for half an hour. Take 1 spoon of herbs (succession, chamomile, St. John's wort, immortelle), mix and add to the prepared decoction. Leave overnight. In the morning, add honey to the decoction - 2 tablespoons. Take the potion 3 times a day according to the scheme:

• The first 2 days – 50 ml.
• The next 2 days – 100 ml.
• Then until the end of the course – 150 ml.
• The course is 20 days. After the first course, take a break for 10 days and repeat the entire course again.

It is simply wonderful if you add 5% or 10% sodium chloride to such foot baths. In order not to dilute regular table salt to the required concentration yourself, buy a ready-made solution with the required percentage at the pharmacy.

Urine therapy for varicose veins

The medicinal properties of urine initially caused heated debates among both doctors and adherents of traditional medicine. These disputes have not subsided to this day. Society is divided into two halves. Some are for using urine for medicinal purposes, others are against, motivating their point of view by the fact that urine contains only harmful substances that the body has filtered and removed. There is nothing medicinal in it.

However, opponents do not agree with such conclusions and continue to use urine therapy for almost all ailments, sometimes achieving truly real and positive results.

Whether to use your urine for self-medication or not is a purely personal matter. It is worth noting that in false situations, when the fight against the disease lasts unsuccessfully for many years, you need to try everything, in the hope that an effective method will finally be found.

For varicose veins, proponents of urine therapy recommend the following treatment method:

Prepare gauze. Fold it in several layers and soak it in fresh urine. Do not squeeze it too hard. Apply it to the problem areas of the legs with varicose veins. Put a plastic film on top (like a compress). Secure it loosely with a bandage. Leave the compress on overnight. Remove the bandage in the morning and wash the skin with cool water and soap.

Repeat compresses every night for 2 weeks.

Traditional treatment of varicose veins with poultices

Lotions prepared from various raw materials are a very popular method of treatment in folk medicine. With varicose veins, lotions can easily reduce pain in the legs and speed up blood circulation in a certain area. Some lotions improve the condition of the skin in the places where they are applied.

Wormwood poultice with yogurt

Chop the wormwood, wash it, cut off the leaves and crush it. Add sour milk to the resulting gruel, approximately in a 1:1 ratio (use a simple tablespoon as a measure). The poultice is ready. It should be applied to the sore areas, securing it with a bandage or gauze on top. Remove after 30 minutes. After the poultice, simply wipe the skin with a damp cloth.

This poultice is great for those who already have spider veins. The wormwood poultice will help slow down the formation of new ones, and the old ones will become a little paler.

Lilac leaf poultice

Only young lilac leaves have medicinal properties, so the poultice should be prepared in the spring. Collect the leaves, wash them and, pouring boiling water over them, keep them in a water bath for 10 minutes. Cool. Strain.

Apply gauze soaked in this decoction to the affected areas. Leave on for 30 minutes.

Traditional treatment of varicose veins is usually used for preventive purposes, as well as an addition to the patient's drug treatment. Only a properly selected treatment complex can positively influence the patient's body recovery process, as well as speed up the patient's recovery.
