Varicose veins are a common disease in the modern world. Malnutrition and unregulated physical activity are the main causes of this pathology. The most important thing is to notice it in time and start treating it. Fortunately, ointment from varicose veins today is quite easy to buy in a pharmacy without a prescription. It can also be prepared at home.
What are the remedies for varicose veins?
If you suspect the development of varicose veins, it is desirable( and in some cases simply necessary) to consult a doctor. Only correctly selected preparation will help to quickly and qualitatively cure the disease. Today, not only the anti-varicose vein ointment, but also a variety of gels and lotions, as well as tablets and capsules for oral administration, can be found on the market. All remedies for varicose veins are divided into three groups. These venotonics are drugs that stimulate blood circulation, as well as strengthening veins, blood thinning agents( they prevent the formation of blood clots) and anti-inflammatory drugs. The most difficult thing is to choose medicines for use after surgery, with some chronic diseases, and also during pregnancy or lactation.
Varicose veins: treatment. Ointments according to folk recipes
A lot of effective remedies for the treatment of varicose veins are offered by folk medicine. Many recipes can be prepared at home using available herbs and food. But do not forget that, despite its external harmlessness, many compounds of this type have a serious impact on the human body, and therefore before their use should consult a doctor. A good ointment from varicose veins is obtained from a decoction of herbs and a fatty base. It is necessary to mix in equal parts celandine, plantain, mother-and-stepmother, string, clover, mullein and cones alder. Three spoons of the finished mixture pour boiling water( half cup) and cook for five minutes. Then add 75 grams of butter and badger or pork fat to the broth. Mix everything, the finished product is stored in the refrigerator. Apply a thick layer on the skin, on top of the legs wrapped in bandage and polyethylene.
What are the treatments for varicose products offered by pharmaceutical companies?
In a modern pharmacy, even the most educated buyer is lost among a variety of drugs. How to choose a good ointment from varicose veins? Many products of this type can boast of the presence of natural ingredients. For example, ointment "Antistaks" - venotonic on the basis of extracts of grape leaves. Or "Venitan" is an ointment with an extract of horse chestnut. Most gels and ointments that dilute blood contain heparin. Among such means are the advertised "Venolife", "Lyoton Gel" and "Trombofob".And yet you should not believe only advertising and recommendations of acquaintances, choosing ointment from varicose veins. It is difficult to assess the depth of the problem on its own. For this reason, it makes sense to undergo a survey and go to the pharmacy for medicines only after visiting a specialist.
