What is Varicose Veins?

Also called: Spider Veins

"Easily tired legs, leg heaviness, swelling in the legs, darkening of the skin (in severe cases), numbness in the legs and itching or irritated rash in the legs" often occur as the symptoms of Varicose Veins also called as Spider Veins. Varicose Veins are enlarged veins that can be flesh colored, dark purple or blue. Varicose Veins are veins that have become enlarged and twisted. Varicose Veins are swollen and twisted veins that are visible just under the surface of the skin. They appear most commonly in the legs, but also can develop in other parts of the body.

Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from the tissues of the body to the heart. In the heart, blood is pumped to the lungs to pick up oxygen. The oxygen-rich blood is then pumped out to the body through the arteries. From the arteries, blood flows through tiny blood vessels called capillaries, where it gives up its oxygen to the body’s tissues. The blood then returns back to the heart through the veins to pick up more oxygen.

Veins have one-way valves that help to keep the blood flowing toward the heart. When the valves don’t work well, blood backs up and pools in the veins. This causes them to swell and become Varicose Veins.

Varicose Veins usually don’t cause medical problems. On occasion, they require treatment for pain, skin problems, blood clots, or other complications. People may choose to have cosmetic treatment to improve the appearance of Varicose Veins.

Tamir Goren "When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering. After an excessive research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work! She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass? And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
