Before diving into the remedy, it’s important to know what varicose veins are and why they appear.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear in the legs. They occur when the valves in the veins weaken, allowing blood to pool instead of flowing smoothly back to the heart.
Common Causes and Risk Factors
- Genetics – Family history increases the likelihood.
- Prolonged standing or sitting – Reduces circulation.
- Pregnancy – Added pressure from increased blood volume.
- Obesity – Extra weight strains the veins.
- Age – Veins lose elasticity over time.
