If you notice prominent veins around your calves, knees, or thighs, don’t ignore them as they could be a symptom of varicose veins. Varicose veins are swollen or enlarged veins, usually blue or purple. Normal veins have valves to keep blood flowing to the heart, but when these valves don’t work properly, blood can build up in the veins, causing them to enlarge and form varicose veins.
Varicose veins are common and are estimated to affect about one in four people, especially those over the age of 50. Also, women tend to suffer more than men. In the early stages of varicose veins, people with varicose veins often suffer from nighttime cramps, pain, and swelling of the legs and ankles. If left untreated, the condition can worsen over time and lead to complications such as phlebitis, leg ulcers, and even ruptured veins. Poor circulation from varicose veins can also adversely affect other organs. Improving circulation will ease symptoms and prevent future complications.
There are several ways you can improve and potentially eliminate varicose veins:
- Wear compression socks or stockings. Specially designed socks or stockings are used to steadily squeeze your legs with the aim of improving blood circulation and eliminating swollen veins.
- Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. If you work at a desk, be sure to take regular small breaks when possible to walk and stretch.
- Exercise regularly. Swimming, walking, cycling, yoga, and stretching are all good for circulation. Moderate exercise also contributes to obesity, which is one of the risk factors for varicose veins.
In addition to the above methods, PEMF therapy has also received more attention as an advanced alternative therapy. PEMF therapy is non-invasive, painless and drug-free. It targets blood circulation to increase cell metabolism and enhance cell regeneration. It also helps neutralize free radicals. Regular use of PEMF allows the body to continuously rebuild cells, prevent premature aging and restore a natural state of health.
If you are interested in PEMF therapy and want to give it a try, we highly recommend the MiraMate PEMF Kit. This kit gives you two powerful PEMF devices at the same time, MiraMate Mini Magic and Big Magic. Portable and easy to use, the Mini Magic can effectively relieve acute pain from varicose veins by simply placing the coil on the area where you feel pain; while the Big Magic comes with a comfortable PEMF pad that wraps around your leg, its It works by creating a strong magnetic field around your legs, which improves blood circulation and increases oxygen levels. Also, both machines can be used together for better results, ideally you can use the Mini Magic during the day and the Big Magic at night.
