Varicose Veins – What’s Going On?
Varicose veins occur when veins become swollen and twisted, often appearing as dark, bulging veins on the legs.
This condition is usually caused by increased pressure within the veins, which can result from factors like pregnancy, prolonged standing, or even genetics.
Varicose veins can lead to discomfort, swelling, and pain. Fortunately, natural remedies—such as soothing oils, herbal treatments, and simple lifestyle changes—can help reduce swelling, ease pain, and improve circulation, providing your legs with much-needed relief.
However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's always best to consult a doctor for personalised advice and treatment.
