When you sit Down, make sure you rest them on a stool. By doing this, you will help help the circulation in your legs. When you sit with your legs down all the time, this will prevent circulation in your legs.

Do you know what you’re doing when you sit with your legs crossed? It’s definitely not helping your legs. You are practically blocking circulation from your legs. So, try not to sit with your legs crossed all the time. It’s no good for them.

In order to both prevent and get rid of those varicose veins, it is important that you maintain your weight. If you are overweight, then go on a healthy diet, eat right and exercise. There are many methods to shed pounds. In fact, on AllWomensTalk.com, I have written some blogs on losing weight.

A massage is always good. It helps the blood circulation. So, it will help with varicose veins. Doesn’t that make sense? It not only prevents varicose veins, but it also helps get rid of them.

Have you ever heard of compression stockings? If you are pregnant and suffering from them temporary, then they can be used. If you have a severe case, then you could go to a doctor and get compression stocking prescribed. You can purchase these at a medical supply store or through a pharmacy.

Acupuncture

Some get acupuncture in order to help their varicose veins. While this is a good way to help with spider veins, you should take note that it is not going to fully get rid of them. However, they will improve a bit and you can then start improving the circulation to get rid of them completely.

Someone mentioned this before and since I do not have spider veins, I do not know if it worked. I actually read this is a medical book. Putting half a cup of white vinegar in the bath helps.

There you have 8 ways to get rid of varicose veins. Basically, what it all boils down to is improving the blood flow in your legs. Get up and move around. Don’t sit at your desk without breaks and by breaks, I mean walking around. Basically, don’t be lazy. So, do you have this problem?

Great tips and post. This is something I hate seeing on my legs. I just uncrossed my legs after reading this too. :) Will take a massage any day! The vinegar tip is pretty interesting... might have to try that sometime. xx, becs

Swimming and biking are also good exercises to get rid of varicose veins. Another of my tip to treat varicose vein is to avoid the heat (sauna, hot tub, sunbathing, waxing...), for the heat dilates the vessels.

Yoga is really a nice option.

I just think you should be aware that being on you feet all the time is also not good for varicose veins. I was diagnosed with them at 24. And I walk for a living. So, forgive me, but I don't take being told to stop being lazy from someone who doesn't have varicose veins, very lightly.
