Eliminate Varicose Veins With Acupuncture Treatment
from:When the veins in your lower leg swell, widen, enlarge, or
extend, you have a condition that is known as varicose veins.
With varicose veins, the skin underneath the skin becomes highly
visible and may vary in color from pink, red, purple, blue or
black lines and may include clots. For those with severe cases,
the veins may look like earthworms. Some of the symptoms of
varicose veins include skin changes, damage, sclerosis,
heaviness, weakness, fatigue, and leg pain.
Although most people think surgery is the only treatment for
varicose veins, acupuncture is quite effective for this
condition. Medical theory in chinese medicine believes varicose
veins are the result of stagnant blood that can be produced by
many underlying factors. During this condition, an abnormal
blood flow occurs, so by treating key points with the meridian
areas, it forces the blood to move into the veins and the areas
around them. People who are being treated for varicose veins
with acupuncture may feel tingling or have a sensation of
heaviness. Some patients may even feel itchy once the blood in
the veins begins flowing again, but the blood will be unable to
circulate until any stagnant blood remaining in the vessels is
removed completely by new blood.
The improvement that results from treating varicose veins with
acupuncture is gradual. Depending on how severe your case is,
you may need several treatments to eliminate your varicose
veins. Acupuncture will restore the veins to normal, but you can
soak in a hot tub or other means in order to speed the process.
Unlike traditional treatments for varicose veins, acupuncture
has no side effects. Surgical procedures do not always cure the
problem, and sometimes may even make it worse. Most people just
choose to live with the condition instead of attempting to
correct it. The problem is you are left with pain and swelling
in your legs that may increase over time.
If you have a severe case of varicose veins, acupuncture may be
the answer to your prayers. That doesn't mean only those with
severe cases should consider acupuncture, but at the same time,
if you don't suffer from serious problems, you may want to let
the condition manifest itself into something more serious before
you seek treatment of any kind. The more severe the case is, the
more likely it will be that the treatment will be effective. Not
only that but waiting will make it easier to see the extent of
the damage and allow a patient to notice the difference. In
addition, most people do not believe in any kind of medical
intervention, whether it be traditional or alternative medicine,
until nothing else works.
