Question About Varicose Veins, and Comment About Potassium

[Guest guest]

My girlfriend has several patches of varicose veins on her legs.

I was wondering if there was a herb(s), or any other natural remedy

recommended. She does not like the idea of wearing support hose, and

stripping the veins out seems like a barbaric idea. Also I noted the

post about the benefits of banannas. Years ago I had a very strict

diet, and ended up getting very sickly. Just by accident it happened

that around that time I bought several bunches of ripe banannas. In

just a couple of days I felt so much better that I have been a bananna

advocate ever since. Also many types of high blood pressure medicine

seems to deplete the body of potassium. Without replacement you can

end up feeling deathly sick. Banannas, like the article said, is an

excellent source of this, and I have heard it said that when you take a

table-spoon of apple cider vinegar and honey each day you end up

getting a really healthy dose of potassium.

I was taught that Gotu Kola is good for spider veins and Horse Chesnut is

good for varicose veins. I never had the problem so cannot speak from

experience. I think if I did I would use a good colon cleanse and treat the

liver and

kidneys with Dandelion leaf and root in a tincture form.

What I think is that it is probably due to pressure that is causing poor

blood flow to the legs. So it would be well to clear the lymph glands also. Red

Root for a short time, say a couple weeks and then Cleavers would help. Try

lymph gland massages also.If your health food/herb store has an alternative

health directory, find someone there who does this. Possibly the phone book

may list someone also in the alternative health section.

I would also wrap my legs in bandages soaked in castor oil at night with

saran wrap over that. It could not hurt and would probably ease the pain also.

Peace, Thyme

Tincture of horse chestnut is supposed to be helpful

for varicose veins, but you also want to look at the

root cause:

varicose veins are caused by a sluggish liver.

 

All the women in my family had bad varicose veins

and had their gallbladders removed.

 

I have had some varicose veins since I was 18, but they

don't bother me much unless I misbehave myself nutritionally.

Then they swell up and I feel them.

At 63 I am pleased to say that my gall bladder is

still where it is supposed to be, embedded in my liver.

 

All this health nut stuff seems to have worked.

" You can also get the Horse-chestnut in Herbal-capsules. I read to

use " Vitamin K creme and Vit. C and/or Grape-seed extract tablets.

 

The no. one key to Natural Healing is " Buying the Nutrients; this can

be quite expensive; however by buying Nutrients you promote Natural

Remedies buy promoting the Nutrition Co.'s. Nutrients really work. A.-
