VARICOSE VEINS AND HERBS



(Keywords: VARICOSE VEINS AND HERBS, natural cure for varicose veins, varicose veins ulcers, home remedies for varicose veins, raw honey for varicose ulcers)

Varicose veins and the subsequent varicose ulcers are caused by the failure of the valves in the veins, primarily in the lower legs, but in other places too. Haemorrhoids, for example.

This valve failure increases the blood pressure in the veins, so that normal perfusion of the tissues of the lower legs cannot occur - movement of blood from the arteries, through capillaries to the veins, and hence back to the heart. The result is ischemia: too little oxygen and nutrients to the skin and the (subcutaneous) tissues below the skin.

But the real damage is done by repeated ischemia and re-perfusion. Read more at VARICOSE VEINS IN LEGS ...

VARICOSE VEINS ULCERS

When the apoxia - lack of oxygen - in the tissues becomes severe, extremely painful varicose veins ulcers occur. Stripping the veins may help, compression bandages may help, certain drugs may help, and there is now another new helper...






MELLADERM

VARICOSE VEINS AND HERBS

Melladerm is the proprietary name for a wound-healing gel consisting of

  • Raw honey 400mg

  • Berberidaceae 1.7mg

  • Beta-sitosterol 0.6mg

  • Small amounts of the anti-oxidants vitamin C and E.

When the gel comes in contact with the wound, fluid is extracted from the surrounding tissue by osmosis. The action of the raw honey has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Oedema (swelling) which causes pain is reduced and the wound is simultaneously cleaned which results in optimal wound healing.

The raw honey facilitates autolysis (destruction of the diseased skin) and promotes epithelial cell migration.

Due to the strong osmotic activity melladerm also has anti-microbial properties.


RAW honey

Honey has interesting properties. It keeps for years, provided it is in a sealed container to keep moisture out - in fact for ever - because the extemely high concentration of natural sugars which, by osmosis, extracts the water out of any offending microbes and yeasts. For this reason the ancients used raw honey on wounds and burns, and honey found in the pyramids of the Pharaohs is still edible.

In addition, raw honey contains an enzyme called glucose oxidase, added from the glands of the honeybee. As this enzyme acts on the natural sugars in honey it produces hydrogen peroxide, a very powerful anti-oxidant known for its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

All the enzymes in honey are destroyed by heat. Hence the inclusion in Malladerm of raw honey only. By "raw" we mean honey that has not been heated above the temperature of the bee-hive. Heat it above 36*C and it's no longer raw. Nor in truth should it be called honey any longer. What's needed is raw honey for varicose ulcers.


Berberidaceae @ VARICOSE VEINS AND HERBS

This is a common group of plants and this stage I am unaware why the manufacturers have included it. I am making enquiries...

Beta-SITOSTEROL @ VARICOSE VEINS AND HERBS

Phytosterols are a cholesterol-like structure in plants that control the movement of fluids in plant membranes. Beta-sitosterol is but one of many phytosterols - it is found in tiny quantities in all salads, vegetables and fruits.

And, it would seem, I'm being presumptious, the manufacturers of Melladerm have included it in their gel preparation because it also helps control the movement of fluids in human tissues. WHAT ARE PHYTOSTEROLS ?

Phytosterols for this reason are also one of the best remedies for an engorged prostate gland.









HOME REMEDIES FOR VARICOSE VEINS ULCERS

  • Prevention is the best cure. It's easy to say, but stop smoking NOW, and get that extra weight off. It simply adds to the problem of poor circulation, and will compound varicose veins and varicose ulcers.

  • Don't stand for long periods of time. And, if you have to stand, in the queue at the post office, for example, march on the spot. It's the repeated contraction and relaxation of the muscles in the legs that acts as a venous pump, transporting blood up the veins and back to the heart.

  • Don't sit for long periods either. Regularly get up and move BEFORE the swelling starts in the lower legs. BEFORE they start aching and burning, then it's already too late to go and lie down. Think control and natural cure for varicose veins.

  • When travelling long distances, regularly move the feet, exercise the ankles, using in particular the calf muscles.

  • Go regularly for short walks, perhaps every hour. Every half hour go upstairs, to the loo, do something different. Move, in short. And every day at least once for a longer walk.

  • Should you also be diabetic, you MUST follow the disciplines associated with diabetes. Eat right, take your medication, exercise every day, take the right minerals and vitamins...

  • Re-perfusion is what occurs when the blood circulation is restored AFTER ischemia. So you must go and lie down regularly, with the legs elevated, BEFORE the ischemia occurs, if you have serious varicose ulcers.

    SURGERY @ VARICOSE VEINS AND HERBS

    All treatments for al disease, including Chiropractic, can have side effects and serious sequelae. Rather live with your unsightly spider veins. This is a sad story. I have/had a friend who through long hours of standing at work developed varicose veins. There was no ulcer. He was very fit, 60-ish, a runner, weight good, never a smoker... two days after surgery a thrombosis developed in the leg, formed an embolus and he had a stroke and died.

    My advice? If you have varicose veins, go through the disciplines of conservative treatment, and try to avoid the dangers of modern adventurous medicine. Even anaesthetics are dangerous.

    Sometimes surgery may be necessary but, if you can, avoid it, and consider varicose veins and herbs rather.



    ANECDOTE @ VARICOSE VEINS AND HERBS

    I found out about Melladerm from a good friend, one I still have!, who has struggled with venous ulcers in her lower leg. She too is otherwise very healthy, a non-smoker... varicose veins ulcers are extremely painful. Finally after years of struggle, she found out about Malladerm. I'm just sorry that her before and after photos on her mobile did not come out.

    Do you have before-and-after photos after treatment of varicose veins ulcers ? I'd love to have them...



    IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

    VARICOSE VEINS AND HERBS

    HAEMORRHOIDS

    The haemorrhoids are the cushion that form a very important aid in the passage of the stool through the anus. They are made up of blood vessels and other tissues, and are a quite normal, and important part of the rectal passage. Read about them on Wiki if you want more details.

    Constipation (= lack of fibre in the diet) means increased straining at the stool which increases the venous pressure, making this cushion engorged and distended. After a long period on a diet deficient in salads, vegetables and fruit (fibre) these veins (now called "piles") may become inflammed and swollen. They can become so severe that they are strangulated causing varicose veins ulcers.

    Interestingly, a diet deficient in plant material is also deficient in phytosterols, the very substances that control the movement of fluids in tissues in plants. I wonder if natural cure for varicose veins in the leg like Melladerm might help for fluid-engorged piles in the short term? In the long term all that is required is a return to a sane and normal diet, rich in vegetable fibre and phytosterols.

    The trick, as in all of health, is to do something before the crisis arises. Stop smoking before the heart attack, get your blood pressure and cholesterol down before the stroke and start eating a normal amount of fibre, particularly the soluble fibre, before you get piles or bowel cancer. Think varicose veins and herbs and fibre before operations. A friend descibed the op as like having barbed-wire stuck up your rear end! HELENS 15 EURO SALAD is what cured me of haemorrhoids!

    BEETROOT CONSTIPATION - a rich source of soluble fibre. I call it God's gift to the constipated colon.
