Varicose veins, also known as spider veins, are a common nuisance for women. These bulging, unsightly veins can make any woman afraid to wear a skirt or shorts. The methods for removing veins typically involve surgery of some sort but if this alternative doesn’t sit well with you, you’ll be happy to know that there are natural removal methods you can try out at home.

The first thing to know about natural vein removal methods is that the results are not immediate like they would be if you pursued the surgical route. The results take some time to appear but if you remain diligent to the methods on a daily basis then you will experience noticeable results. If you tend to be impatient or are looking for instantaneous results, then the natural vein removal method may not be for you.

Removing varicose veins naturally involves the use of special supplements that contain herbs with special healing properties. The purpose of these products is to decrease the size and color of varicose veins from the inside out. There are also creams made to decrease the size and color of varicose veins topically, although reviews of the effectiveness of such products are mixed. Some say they have experienced noticeable results through using topical creams, while others claim to not see any change at all. However, with the herbal supplements, reviews tend to be more favorable.

The way herbal supplements work to reduce the size and color of spider veins is by improving circulation. The better the circulation in the legs, the less likely varicose veins will be to appear. Common herbs used in these products are ginger, hawthorn berries and cayenne. Ginger works to increase circulation by thinning the blood safely, while preventing blood clots. The presence of ginger is great for targeting circulation problems in the hands and feet. Hawthorn berries have the ability to heal internal blood vessels and can reduce the swelling that contributes to varicose veins. Cayenne is able to improve circulation by reducing the chances of developing blood clots and prevent swelling. Other herbs that can be found in natural vein removal supplements include grape seed extract, sophora japonica extract, butcher’s broom extract, and horse chestnut extract.

While there are products like creams and herbal supplements that can provide you with alternatives for removing troublesome varicose veins, taking preventative measures is also key to keeping new varicose veins from showing up. It is important to avoid doing any of the following for extended periods of time: sitting, standing and/or crossing your legs. Other ways to help improve circulation to combat varicose veins includes doing leg stretches and incorporating regular exercise into your daily routine. By improving your circulation, your veins will be less likely to swell, clot and bulge.
