Varicose veins – a disease that has plagued humanity from the depths of not even centuries, but for thousands of years. Since then, like the ancient hominids (Homo erectus) rose to his hind legs and began to try to walk, the human race has inherited a stable predisposition to varicose veins. Varicose veins of the legs become payment bipedalism of the human species. The emergence of the disease led to the need for treatment. Varicose veins treatment began from very ancient times. The study of mummies, found during archaeological excavations in Egypt showed traces of the treatment of varicose veins of the lower leg. Describe the treatment of varicose veins found in the most authoritative doctors of antiquity – Hippocrates, Galen, Abu Ibn Sina, Paracelsus. Modern medicine is still in the battle with varicose veins, including by means of national methods and tools.
Varicose veins – venous disease, based on functional disorders of the venous valves. Typical varicose veins disease mesh coming through the skin "swollen" veins, "cone", "nodes" and "halo". This symptom has given the disease the name – the word varicose veins (varicis) from Latin means swelling. Despite the common misconception that varicose veins are a venous disease of the legs, note that it is not. Varicose veins is a pathological process that affects any vein, regardless of the place of its localization. If the veins in your legs, the disease is called varicose veins in the legs, if the esophagus – esophageal varicose veins, hemorrhoids, rectum. Veins are classified in this way: the deep, connective tissue (communicative) and superficial.
Varicose veins is one of the most common diseases in the world. The Who (world health organization) this disease affects 20-25% of the population in developed countries, on average a quarter higher than in third world countries. Varicose veins more common in women than in men. Compared to the statistics in the last decades of the twentieth century, one can note that the increase of this disease among young people. Age varicose illness begins 12 to 14 years (recorded earlier cases of varicose veins). The norm is 40-45 years. In the 70 years, almost everyone has one or the other of varicose veins disease.
The mechanism of destruction of the vein, because it violates the blood pressure, a stroke, blood flow to the. For example, if you take a thin-walled hose and squeeze it in your hands during the flow of water, it is possible to see how the clip is exaggerated in a bubble. The pressure does not let the water come back, and tighten the power – the power to move forward. In a normal situation, something is standing in the first – hand, the wall of the hose or the source of progressive pressure. So with the human body, where the analogy of tightening the stem is similar to the work of the venous valve, hose – Vienna, and the source of progressive pressure is the heart. In vienna, a place the abnormal function of the valve is deformed, is stretched as a stretched rubber hose it is a bubble. Vienna can not stand the pressure, become damaged and leak blood. Depending on what the Vienna – superficial or deep, the bleeding may be overt or internal. In such places, the pain, the event, cramps, bruising, and subcutaneous tissues become characteristic blue-purple color.
If we consider the human body hydraulic physical system, it is most correct to call the main cause of varicose veins, the term "hydrodynamic compression". Namely, any physical determination of the venous blood flow directly affects the risk of developing varicose disease. One of the reasons we have already alluded to, is bipedalism. Man is the only earth that we can walk upright with two hind legs, or feet. The presence of legs, by the way, is exclusively a human characteristic. System, where the load is divided into four pillars, are not only more durable, it is also more ergonomic than that in which the two supports. Simple math shows that the two-post system load for the same weight two times larger than four reference. Now imagine how complex human life is the problem of excess weight.
Being overweight can be caused by different reasons, ranging from obesity, pregnancy and ending with the issue of continuous physical activity, which can be any heavy shopping bags products, rod, very heavy backpack. The deformation of the body, deviations from the body of the Constitution too is a threat to the veins. The woman in the last months of the year are particularly susceptible to compression of the forms of varicose veins, because of the stretching of the fetus in the abdomen. After childbirth veins also twist, to create the conditions for such an unpleasant forms of varicose veins, such as hemorrhoids. Obesity also often leads to deformation of the body. For example, the "beer belly" creates favorable conditions for the development of varicose veins in the hepatic veins and the superficial veins of the abdomen. Drivers of minibuses, drivers must contact that office staff need long sitting in one place, which increases the risk of developing hemorrhoids, and varicose veins in the legs. The human body should be static for long time to be in the same position. By the way, posture "foot to foot" particularly harmful to the veins of the legs. A person needs to move a lot, to reduce the risk of varicose veins diseases.
Is purely physiological causes varicose veins diseases. For example, the endocrine. The female hormone progesterone affects the formation of connective tissue and indirectly affects the quality of the smooth muscles of the veins. If the deficit the tone of the muscles, the veins become weaker, they are easier to stretch, which undoubtedly increases the risk of varicose veins.
Varicose veins are dangerous to their slow, "slow", because it is often not considered a dangerous disease. Leg pain becomes habitual, a person gets used to him and began to pay attention only when it becomes unbearable. And varicose veins, among other things – a very dangerous disease.
Many people mistakenly believe that the varicose veins begins when the under skin mesh to appear "swollen" veins. In fact it is not. Blue foot – this is quite an alarming sign. Bumps on the legs varicose veins shows that the disease long ago crossed the starting line and is at least middle-stage of the course.
Varicose veins of the lower extremities began to quickly fatigue the legs, when it feels like nothing, and the legs are "buzzing" and whines than ten miles over. Foot pain is a long time, the swelling and swelling. There is often a feeling of "beating leg veins". I feel a wave of heat, which can turn into a burning sensation.
Hemorrhoids in early stages are almost invisible. A more advanced form of this disease, a person may feel the itching, burning sensation in the anal area, discomfort during defecation.
Early symptoms of varicose veins of the esophagus is similar to that observed in gastritis belching, heartburn. Has its own characteristics – problem swallowing reflex, chest pain, rapid heart rate.
When the varicose veins the superficial veins are in the middle stages of the leak, it is easily noticeable feature of the venous blue "veins", "nodes", "blisters" and "Corolla". The alarming color of the venous veins – deep purple. This color is so dark that it looks black. This is an indication that the surface tissue begins to receive less oxygen and nutrients, the next step is to gangrene.
Incorrect blood circulation, congestion of the veins threatening blood clots in the emergence of dangerous diseases, such as thrombophlebitis. It is dangerous for its complications: pulmonary embolism (blockage of the blood clotting pulmonary veins may lead to pulmonary infarction, that in fifty cases out of a hundred means death), white or blue flegmaziya, necrosis.
The occurrence of venous ulcers is due to the phenomenon of hypertension. Under this term hides a cascade of pathological reactions in the tissue -, cell-and molecular level. Modern medicine to understand trophic ulcer "open sore, not healed six or more weeks." The whole "wound" can cover a large area, and its depth reaches to the bone
In the old days there was nothing to share academic and folk medicine (alternative and traditional). Severe withdrawal in this field of knowledge became possible only in the XIX century, when there was a qualitative leap that will be given to complete the formation of science-based (academic) medicine. The classical medical science is quite intolerant of unconventional methods of treatment. Sometimes you can hear the doctors fees to traditional healers lie. Unfortunately, in some cases, the quackery is the place to be in the practice of folk healers, but science is to provide methods and means of traditional medicine left over the attention of a variety of easy to use, available at home and highly effective treatments that we will discuss below.
Horse chestnut – green decoration in many cities. In addition to the aesthetic features, this plant has valuable medicinal properties. The fruits, peel the fruit and flowers of horse chestnut is used to treat varicose veins. These ingredients, you can prepare a tincture, decoction, ointment, compresses, rubbing. Drugs made from the blossoms is a touch of action and it is recommended that people who have experienced symptoms of individual intolerance to the drug. Horse chestnut contains two active biological substances – esculin and escin. The first is able to make blood less viscous, which prevents the formation of blood clots, reduce the risk of getting thrombophlebitis. Escin and esculin tone the muscles of the venous vessels, reducing the venous extensions.
The tincture is typically made of crushed fruit, but the bark and flowers of horse chestnut. Infused in vodka or rubbing alcohol. Vodka is inexpensive for sale, so we share its recipe is based on. One hundred grams of crushed fruit pour a liter of vodka. The drug is infused in a closed sunlight for one week. Tincture is used four times a day before meals for one tablespoon. The course of treatment – a month. Tincture can be used compresses.

Store broth in the refrigerator. If there were indications that he begins to fade, you should immediately discard it and prepare the medicine again.
Cream fruit of the horse chestnut helps in the treatment of venous "nodes", "Corolla" and "veins". Reviews of people who have used this medicine said, that after the first week of treatment nodes are soft. Purple-blue color of the skin around the varicose veins file extensions to lose its intensity, fades. Longer treatment of node "leave" under the skin, and the skin returns to a healthy color. It is based on cream, vegetable oils (olive, flaxseed or sunflower oil is good). One hundred grams of the crushed fruits pour half a liter of oil and boil in water bath for one hour. The finished cream should be cool and drain. Keep it in the fridge. Patients veins smeared before a dream.
