Spider veins – a disease that has haunted humanity from the depths of not even centuries and millennia. Since the ancient hominid (Homo erectus) stood up on its hind legs and began to try to walk, humanity has received as a lasting legacy of the propensity for varicose veins. The varicosities of the legs has become a card to stand up to the human species. The onset of the disease has led to the necessity of its treatment. Spider veins have begun to treat again for a very long time. The study of the mummy detected during archaeological in Egypt, showed traces of treatment of varicose veins of the leg. Describe the treatment of varicose veins, to find in account traditionally among the great physicians of antiquity – Hippocrates, Galen, Abu ibn Sina, and Paracelsus. Modern medicine continues to struggle with varicose veins, including the use of popular methods and means.
Varicose veins is a disease of the veins, which rests in functional disorders of venous valves. The characteristic sign of varicose veins of the disease – grid penetrate through the skin "swollen" veins, with "bumps", "nodes" and "corollas". It is a symptom which has given the name of the disease – word of varicose veins (varicis) from the latin means bloating. Contrary to the illusion that varicose veins is a disease of the veins of the legs, note that this is not the case. Varicose veins – it is the process of the disease, which affects any vienna, regardless of its location. If the vein on the leg – disease will be called varicose veins the veins of the legs, if in the esophagus – varices of the veins of the esophagus, rectum – hemorrhoids. The veins are classified as: connective (communication) and on the surface.
Varicose veins – one of the most widespread diseases in the world. According to information from the WHO (World health organization) this disease is 20% to 25% of the population in developed countries, that on average a quarter more than the indicators of the countries of the third world. Varicose veins is more common in women than men. In comparison with the statistics of the last decade of the twentieth century, there was an increase of this disease among young people. The age of the varicose pathology begins at 12-14 years of age (are more the first case of varicose veins). Rate of 40-45 years. By age 70, almost everyone has one time or another, varicose veins of the disease.
The mechanism of the defeat of vienna is explained by the violation of the blood pressure, the functioning of the blood circulation. For example, if you take the leaves of a rubber tube and squeeze it in his arms at the time of the deposit of the water, we can see that on the site of the clamp to inflate the bubble. The pressure does not allow the water to return back, and the clamping force – forward flight. In a normal situation something is not resistant to the first-hand of the wall of the hose or the source of translation pressure. It is the same in the human body, where, in the analogy of the clamp to the hand the same work for venous valve, the hose of vienna, and the source of the translation pressure is used the heart. Vienna on-site pathological working of the valve is distorted, stretched like wallows a rubber hose in the case of the formation of a "bubble". The veins can not withstand the pressure to be damaged and bleed. According to this it comes from surface or depth – the bleeding can be opened or internal. In such places, one feels the pain, the cramps arrive, bruising, and subcutaneous tissue develop the characteristic blue-violet.
If one considers the human body as a hydraulic a physical system, it is more correct to call the main cause of varicose veins, the term "hydrodynamic compression". This is all the physics of an objective determination of the venous blood system will directly influence the risk of onset of diseases, varicose. One of these reasons, we have already called it stand. Man is the only one, on our planet, a creature capable of walking straight on two legs behind, it is the legs. The presence of feet, moreover, exclusively human characteristic. A system in which the load is distributed on all four feet, not only more stable and more ergonomic than the one in which the two supports. A simple calculation will show you that the two post system of equal weight is two times higher than in four of reference. Now, just imagine how complicate the life of man the problem of excess weight.
Excess weight can be called the most different reasons, ranging from obesity, pregnancy and ending the ongoing problem of the physical exercise, which can be everything that you want heavy duty shopping bags with products from the rod, too heavy backpack. The deformation of the body, the deviation of the physical, of the constitution is also a threat to the veins. The woman during the last months of pregnancy is particularly vulnerable to the compression of the forms of varicose veins due to the stretch, the fruit of the abdominal cavity. After the birth of vienna is also distorted, creating the conditions for such an unpleasant form of varicose veins, hemorrhoids. Obesity is also often leads to the deformation of the body. Thus, for example, "a tummy" creates favorable conditions for the development of varicose veins of the liver and the superficial veins of the abdomen. Drivers of minibuses, the truck drivers have in common with the employees of the office of the need for a long sitting on one place, which increases the risk of disease of hemorrhoids and varicose veins of the feet. The human body must not be static, to spend long hours in the same position. In addition, posture "legs" is especially harmful to the veins of the legs. A person is in need of a lot move in order to reduce the risk of disease varicose.
There are purely physiological causes of diseases, varicose. For example, the endocrine system. Progesterone is a female hormone affects the formation of connective tissue, and indirectly on the quality of the smooth muscle of the vein. When lack of muscle tone veins become weaker, they are easier to stretch, that, undoubtedly, increases the risk of varicose veins.
Spider veins is hazardous to their reluctance, "slow" current, which is why it is not often perceived as a dangerous disease. The pain in the legs is familiar, the man gets used to it and starts to pay attention only when it becomes unbearable. And varicose veins, among others – quite a dangerous disease.
Many people wrongly believe that the varicosities began when under the skin appears grid "swollen" veins. In fact this is not the case. The blue feet – it is already quite an alarming sign. The bumps on the feet when the varicose veins indicate that the disease has long ago crossed the line of departure and at least in the interim phase of its current.
The varicosities of the lower extremities begins with a rapid fatigue of the legs, when it seemed like nothing at all and the feet already of "buzz" and whining as if a dozen kilometers past. The pain in the feet long does not pass, appear swelling and the tumor. There is often a feeling of "chipping at the foot of the rib". Feel a wave of heat, which can go in a burning sensation.
The hemorrhoids in the early stages and is almost invisible. When more than an advanced form of the disease a person may feel itchy, burning sensation at the anus, pain during defecation.
Early symptoms of varicose veins of the esophagus is similar to that which is observed during gastritis – belching, heartburn. There are some characteristics of the difficulty with the reflex of swallowing, chest pain, rapid pulse.
When the varicose veins the superficial veins located in the middle of a stage of its flight, it is easily observed in the form of characteristics blue vein "veins", "nodes", "bubbles" and "halos". More worrying is the color of venous the veins – the depth of the lavender. This color is so dark that it looks black. It is a sign that the surface water in the tissue starts to receive less oxygen and nutrients, the next step of the necrosis.
The poor blood circulation, stagnation in the vessels venous threaten the formation of clots, the occurrence of such a dangerous disease, such as thrombophlebitis. It is dangerous for its complications: pulmonary embolism (obstruction of thrombus from the pulmonary vein can lead to infarction of the lung that in fifty cases out of a hundred, it is death), white, or blue flegmaziya, gangrene.
The appearance of venous ulcers linked with the phenomenon of hypertension. Under this term hides a cascade of reactions to pathological tissue, cellular, and molecular. The modern medicine consists in the ulcer trophic "an open wound, not healing six weeks." The size of the "wound" can cover a large surface, and its depth reached the bone
In the old days, not of division in the academic and popular medicine (non-conventional and traditional). Severe demarcation in this area of knowledge has been possible only in the NINETEENTH century, when it is quality product to the shake, which helped to complement the scientific training (academic) medicine. Classic medical science is quite intolerant to unconventional methods of treatment. Sometimes, you may hear doctors charges of traditional healers in the lie. Unfortunately, in some cases, the quackery has to be in the popular practice of the healers, but science, by providing methods and means of traditional medicine, has been left out of the attention of many simple, available to the home and very effective treatment, which we will discuss below.
Horse chestnut – green of the decoration that many cities. In addition to the aesthetic function, this plant has a value of medicinal properties. The fruits, barks of fruits and flowers of the horse chestnut use for the treatment of varicose veins. From these ingredients, you can prepare a tincture, decoction, ointment, compresses, rub. The medicines prepared from inflorescences, have attenuated the action and are recommended for people who have symptoms of the individual intolerance of the drug. Horse chestnut contains two active biological substance – escine and esculine. The first is able to make the blood less viscous, which prevents the formation of blood clots, which reduces the risk of the disease thrombophlebitis. Escine and esculine tone the muscles venous blood vessels, reducing the risk of venous extensions.
The dye is made usually from fruit, but also a zest, and the flowering chestnut-tree. Brewed with vodka or rubbing alcohol. The vodka is no longer available for sale, this is why we indicate the proportions it is for the recipe. One hundred grams of fruit it is necessary to pour a liter of vodka. The drug must infuse in a closed room by the light of the sun for a week. The dye is used four times per day before meals one tablespoon. The course of treatment – month. Stain, you can use compresses.

Received the broth should be allowed to stand for eight to ten hours, and after this, you can start the treatment. Take a decoction of one tablespoon before meals three times per day. A decoction of the bark of the fruit of the horse chestnut is very effective home remedy of varicose veins of the legs, as in the period of exacerbation, and as a preventive measure. Keep the broth needed in the refrigerator. If there were signs that it begins to deteriorate, you should immediately removed and to prepare a new drug.
The ointment from the fruit of the horse chestnut is very good for the treatment of venous "nodes", "halos", and "veins". Comments from people who have put in practice this tool, to say that already at the end of the first week of treatment "nodes" become tender. Lilac-blue color of the skin in place extensions, it loses some of its saturation, is pale in comparison. The longest processing time of the nodes, "to go" under the skin, and the skin is back in good health. Makes an ointment base of vegetable oil (olive, flax, or well-refined sunflower). One hundred grams of the crushed fruits is filled with a half-litre of oil and is boiled in a bain-marie for an hour. Finished ointment should be cool and drain. Stored it in the refrigerator. Sick of vienna smears before bedtime.
