Question Looking for something to open up veins...

Can anyone tell me if there's a vitamin or something out there that you can take to get rid of the varicose veins that appear on my legs every now and then? I can't go thru any surgery especially if insurance doesn't cover it...I was hoping for a pill or something...Thanks

What exactly is that and is this a pill form and where do I get this? My veins aren't that bad but at times they do pop out some...I think moreso when I'm on them all day. Thanks

Re: Looking for something to open up veins...

These are more for if your legs ache, addressing venous insufficiency - vein walls expanding and thereby not allowing the valves to do their work in pumping blood from the legs. The could help you, and if you are young, this could be preventive therapy. If you have not had any children yet, you definitely should ask your doctor about vein problems during pregnancy, as this can cause permanent damage. The problem can be addressed, but you have to ask about it first.

Do a search for the herbs I listed. There are resources out there that provide writeups for most, if not all, herbs. Of course, I can't provide a web site here, even though they don't provide the resources that the web site I'd list do. AHEM!

Re: Looking for something to open up veins...

Thank You Johnx...

I'm 41 so I still look at myself as being young. I'm pretty active also...playing sports and with my jobs and family... I'm all done having children so that's not a factor anymore. I'll do a search anf find out where I can get this product and let you know...How long did it take for your wife to see any results? Thanks again
