Treating Varicose Veins At Home: 13 Home Remedies

Massage

These bulging veins can cause aching and soreness in your legs, as well as swelling and itching. The good news is that massage can help to get rid of varicose veins.

The lymphatic system runs throughout your entire body. It is responsible for draining excess fluid from the tissue’s surface toward the heart or kidneys for removal from the body. However, this system does not work efficiently with varicose veins because it becomes thickened over time with fat deposits and other substances that slow down lymphatic drainage. This results in the accumulation of excess fluid near the skin surface. Massage increases circulation in the fluids surrounding the tissue; massaging the legs will help them drain properly through the lymphatic system.

Massage also increases blood flow in your legs and improves blood circulation by stimulating blood vessel growth. The increased blood flow also improves the oxygen supply to your legs. When you’re oxygen-rich, you’re more energized, which can ease aching and soreness.
