These legs were made for walking: beware of varicose veins

Don't make the mistake of thinking of varicose veins as simply unsightly. Their unsightly appearance is only one side of the coin; they can also be very uncomfortable and painful.
Even a slight shock can cause excessive bleeding when a vein is significantly deformed. Hemorrhoids may be invisible, but they're no picnic either...

But what is the real cause of varicose veins or hemorrhoids?

Store assistants are often warned that standing for long hours increases the risk of developing varicose veins. Yet cab drivers are even more likely to suffer from varicose veins, as they remain seated for long periods.
As for the ladies, they should avoid sitting cross-legged, as this impedes blood circulation. As blood rises from the legs to the heart and lungs to replenish oxygen, muscles contract under the weight, putting excessive pressure on the weaker parts of the veins and arteries.
With age, veins lose their elasticity. In obese people, they are also subject to constant overload - another good reason to maintain a healthy weight, especially for those who do sedentary work or, on the contrary, spend long hours on their feet.

This also explains why pregnant women need to take extra care during pregnancy, as the weight of the belly exerts increased pressure on the veins, often leading to the formation of varicose veins or hemorrhoids.
Constipation is another aspect to watch out for. Overeating, especially spicy meals, can also lead to hemorrhoids.

What can you do to reduce the appearance and pain of hemorrhoids?

The seeds of the horse chestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum) have been used for years to treat circulatory disorders, particularly venous problems. Generations of people suffering from varicose veins and hemorrhoids have relied on these remedies, with great success. It comes in three forms:
In tablet or liquid form: For heavy, tired and painful legs, swollen ankles, varicose veins, venous insufficiency and hemorrhoids.
Gel: For tired, heavy legs, fast-acting and refreshing effect.
