Get Rid Of Varicose Veins

Vericose veins are generally observed in the

legs . Veins are supposed to take the blood

from the periphery towards the heart again

towards gravity and so in veins there are

valves which don’t allow the blood to come

downwards , they take the blood upwards towards

the heart , sometimes in certain areas the

valves dont function well , so the blood

accumulates because of gravity in certain

areas , and there is a swelling then there

is a congestion and pain and then you will

find blue lines behind the skin . So all these

blue lines when you see behind the skin and

the bulging of veins , that is called as vericose

veins . Sometimes these veins become very

painful , people cant even stand , walking

is out of the question . So here are few techniques

and tips to overcome vericose veins .

1 ) Do not sit or stand for long . When you

are standing , the distance from your toe

to heart is much longer , heart has to pump

blood from toe upwards , against gravity and

when the valves are not functioning , vericose

veins is bound to be there , so avoid standing

. Noe try and see in our kitchen we have a

standing kitchen so ladies are always standing

, cooking in a standing position . Earlier

they used to sit and cook but now standing

, so quiet a lot of ladies have this vericose

veins problem . Teachers when they are teaching

in school they are standing and teaching , surgeons

, they are standing and doing surgery for

hours together . In all these people , vericose

veins become very common . So usually they

sit whenever they get a chance to sit , but

when they are sitting on chair , still your

legs and hanging down , so best is a person

should learn to sit . Yogis have mentioned

about 28 meditative pose , they say fold your

legs , bring your extrimities towards your

heart , and so sit with your legs crossed

or one leg up or down but fold your legs and

sit and that would always prevent vericose

veins problem. So this is how our lifestyle

has to change to prevent vericosity . Another

cause for vericose veins would be sitting

for a long time on chair . You have to sit

when you are in office , you are working with

computer , then what to do . Now here you

have to learn yo stretch out your legs a bit

, move your toes here and there , stand over

there and move your toe a bit to see that

you give a little flexibility to your hamstring

muscles , where vericose veins come up very

strongly . Take care and you will be able

to manage to prevent the problem .

2 ) Use compression stockings . There are

certain jobs where you have to stand at one

place for hours together like traffic police

, sometimes even soldiers and so many other

activities . Here what would you do ? Here

these are the stockings available that are

compulsory for all of them to wear , it’s

a tight stocking which you are wearing , pulling

it upto your knee and keeping your muscles

absolutely tight , so your veins are absolutely

tight inside , even If valve doesn’t function

, blood will still flow further , it will

not allow the bulging , so such stocking are

very much a necessity for all such people

who cannot sit or who cannot walk while they

are working . Use them very regularly to avoid

the problem , but when the stockings are out

in the house when you are then doing some

exercises to strengthen the muscles which

have not moved at all is most necessary which

we should be doing regularly .

3 ) Some asana which you must do regularly

. First of all , rising on your toe and coming

down whenever you are standing even that standing

place go on your toe , stay on your toe for

sometime and come down . This movement you

should do for long , I have seen in local

trains people are standing from Virar till

Churchgate , now what to do , they should

atleast go on their toe , it would be good

if they could go down , squat down , sit down

and get up , that would be good . So try and

do this movement . There are certain asanas

that you should be doing systematically , one

is Talasana , where you inhale , raise your

whole body upwards , stretch your whole body

, aand simultaneously go on your toe , so

when you are on your toe for sometime that

helps in keeping veins inside . Do this 2-3

times , twice morning as well as evening . Another

asana would be Utkatasana , where you are

again rising yourself on toe staying there

for 4 seconds , squatting down you are still

on your toe , staying there for 4 seconds

coming up again and then coming down so this

Utkatasana also should be done 2 or 3 times

twice in a day . Third asana could be topsy

turvy position to help your heart help your

vericose veins , so do Sarvangasana , so lie

down on your back , breath in first , while

breathing out raise your both legs upwards

, take them up hold your back nicely with

your hands , stay in that position for 1 to

2 mins doing pranayama number 4 in that position

, your legs are really going to get relaxed

, all the swelling will reduce and then you

come back to your normal position . Fouth

, among the group of asanas , this is not

asana but this is a body position which would

helkp in many problems for vericose veins

also very well like go very close to the wall

, your bottom should literally be touching

the wall and bring your legs at the wall touching

the wall that your leg is at the top then

your hips then your head so practically this

angle would be there . Stay in this position

, moving your toe exercises is 1 , 2nd , bringing

it closer to stomach and bringing it back

one by one legs that is pawanmuktasana position

that is another exercise , that is taking

legs to the side like hastapadangusthashan

position as if holding your toe bringing it

back , taking another leg on another side

holding and bringing it back , another movement

could be one leg coming closer to your shoulder

as much as you can and bringing it back , another

leg towards your shoulders and bringing it

back , both the legs towards your shoulders

and bringing it back . So all such movements

when you do it regularly , there wont be any

chance of vericose veins or if at all you

have it , all the pains , aches and problems

would disappear and you will be able to function in your life very well . Apart from these

asanas , what is still more important is walking

, walking in the morning for 4 to 5 kms in

the evening again would be wonderful , do

walking do cycling do swimming , in water

when you go and move your legs do the same exercises in water that would give you double benefit , that would improve your problems

much faster . Remember , vericose veins is

a curable condition all you need is discipline

, proper exercise to be done , change in your working condition , try and see that you walk

very often try and see that you become a little aware about your posture and do all these

things very happily and very regularly and

you will never have such problems of vericose

veins . You don’t have to be very painful

in your life , just become aware of your posture, just become aware of the first signal thatyour body gives you and attend to yourselfimmediately , so try and take care , run , enjoy, swim , be happy and be healthy .
