Varicose veins

---

*Varicose veins develop due to weakened valves in the veins of their legs. Varicosity describes a condition in which the veins of the legs become swollen and bulging beneath the surface of the skin. Varicose veins may be dark in color or may maintain their original color. The color ranges from a mild purplish-red to an almost navy blue. They're nearly always painful. In the event of prolonged varicose veins, they could come with skin peeling, and skin ulcers may be seen to grow. Varicose veins may be the indication of a circulatory and vein/valve issue. These individuals have unpleasant symptoms like burning, weakness, heaviness, swelling, cramping, and pain. What's more, they may increase a person's risk for blood clots or ulcerations on the lower legs and feet.

Veins are the blood vessels responsible for attracting deoxygenated blood back to the heart. This is the reason the veins in your body seem blue. On the other hand, arteries distribute oxygen-rich blood to various organs and other areas of the body. Veins in the legs and feet must work against the flow of gravity to push the blood flow upward toward the heart. To help in this process, miniature valves in all veins close to stopping the blood from going backward and pooling. Occasionally this process doesn't go as planned, and blood flows back in the veins, causing them to bulge, twist, dilate and take on a spider veins appearance.

Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment handles systemic factors causing varicose veins and spider veins. Traditional Chinese Medicine provides a safe and effective approach to preventing and treating spider veins and varicose veins, according to a clinical protocol tested and refined over millennia of use.

Western biomedicine and Traditional Oriental Medicine mostly agree on why varicose veins form. Western medicine sees varicose veins growing because of diminished one-way valves in veins. All blood flows in a single direction only, and both veins and arteries have many one-way valves in their length. These valves should stop blood from flowing backward, mainly where gravity is working against blood circulation. One area of the body where gravity frequently helps blood flow - and hampers blood leaving - is the legs. This flow against gravity is why varicose veins develop most often in the legs, and more rarely, in different areas of the body.

When we walk, the repeated contraction and relaxation of leg muscles generate a sort of pumping action, uniting the one-way valves in veins to move the blood in our legs back up towards the center. When we're lying down, the blood in our thighs does not fight gravity to make its way back to the heart. But sitting still for long periods, such as during a long flight, can encourage blood to pool in the legs - and standing for extended periods is much worse. People who stand or sit for a long time deal with persistent pressure of pooling blood that can cause bulging of leg veins and harm their valves, causing varicose veins.

Functionally, the digestive tract generates sparks and nutrients wastes; the nutrients reach all the cells of the body through the circulatory system, which also carries metabolic wastes from cells so that they can be excreted.

The circulatory and digestive systems are co-extensive. Each system ends exactly where the other begins. One source of Vitamin K, a significant blood-clotting variable, is its creation by friendly flora in the gut. Far from being independent and different physiologic systems, digestion and circulation have a standard structure and purpose.

The Spleen in TCM isn't identical to the spleen in Western biomedicine. Therefore we can't expect a TCM diagnosis to have an exact counterpart in the kind of a Western biomedical diagnosis. In TCM, the spleen is tasked with breaking down food and beverage and creating nutrients from the raw materials. Usually, we think of this as the gut's job, but in TCM that the stomach is primarily responsible for holding the food while the spleen operates on it, then descending it in a timely manner.

According to TCM, the spleen creates blood, the spleen governs muscle (like smooth muscle), and Spleen qi retains blood from the vessels. Therefore, weak Spleen qi can cause some kinds of bleeding disorders (like heavy menses, or easy bruising), in addition to diminished blood vessels, which create both varicose and spider veins in TCM. If the Spleen qi is weak, there'll also be poor absorption, so the spleen won't have the ability to earn enough blood. This mechanism can lead to a variety of kinds of deficiency, including anemias.

Once there's not sufficient blood, the flow will be compromised. Spleen qi deficiency is frequently a factor in poor blood flow, which is an element in varicosity and spider veins. Blood flow is a hydraulic pressure system.  This is not about blood circulation as much as it is about the concentration of blood cells.

TCM informs us that we want enough blood until it can circulate adequately and that Spleen qi is accountable not just for making blood but also for keeping it within the vessels and controlling the smooth muscle vessel walls. It means that by strengthening digestion, by choosing to eat a few things and preventing others, we could normalise blood flow and strengthen blood vessels.
