How do you sooth varicose veins and make them less irritable?

Calming veins: Wearing gradient compression hosiery and taking venotonic or anti-inflammatory medication can help. Walking also helps reduce venous hypertension. Seeing a vein specialist to treat venous insufficiency and painful varicose veins is recommended as a definitive solution. A useful, temporary home remedy is to elevate the legs.

Sooth varicose veins: Would suggest you see a board-certified vascular surgeon to examine your legs & discuss all treatment options, as they are specialists in the management of venous diseases. Also consider: get fitted for a pair of compression stockings, as they will relieve the vein pressure & make the legs feel better. Elevate the legs & avoid prolonged standing. Anti-inflammatories. Exercise. Horse chestnut drug
