Varicose Veins

VARICOSE VEINS

 

-       Fish Oil 4000 mg/day (containing EPA & DHA in a 2:1 ratio)

*** We suggest Carlson’s brand which can be purchased in our clinic.  For patients who are Vegan, we offer UDO’s oil (a plant based option)

-       Avoid long periods of standing or sitting.  Take rest periods several times during the day to elevate your legs above heart level.

-       Avoid crossing your legs.

-       After bathing, apply castor oil directly over the problem veins and massage from the feet up.

-       Avoid scratching the itchy skin above the varicose veins.  Scratching can cause ulceration and bleeding.
