In recent years, varicose veins are growing and becoming younger. Outwardly, it appears in ugly blue knots under the skin, but in fact - the veins become wider and longer, their walls less elastic, as a result of which the legs (they are subjected to more stress, and therefore are mainly affected by varicose veins) swell, swell, on them ulcers may form.
Varicose veins can be caused both by a sedentary lifestyle, and by work, which involves a constant presence on the legs. Overweight and smoking are also triggering factors. Love for high heels and tight models in clothes is another way to make varicose veins. And if there is nothing to be done about gender (women are more prone to varicose veins) or unsuccessful heredity, then it is worth fighting against such risk factors.
It’s clear that as soon as the warning signs appear, it’s time to go to the doctor and also change your outlook on life: accustom yourself to eating properly, do therapeutic exercises, give up bad habits, and fight obesity. And follow the doctor’s prescription!
But even with the help of folk recipes you can help yourself at least stop the disease. And one way to help yourself is to treat varicose veins with soda. There are several ways to use this simple, well-known substance. The most common and simplest of them is baths for 15 minutes, during which 7 tablespoons of ordinary soda are diluted with 200 liters of not hot (not more than 40 ° C) water. Remember that high bath temperatures for varicose veins are contraindicated!
Treatment of varicose veins with soda with alum is called "Zalmanov’s recipe." These are also baths, but this time foot baths. For them, 200 g of soda itself and 70 g of the second component per 5 liters of water are taken, the temperature of which again is about 40 ° C. A foot bath lasts as long as a regular one.
In general, the combination of soda with other ingredients in the treatment of this disease is very common. Traditional medicine also recommends such recipes. Good results have been shown in the treatment of varicose veins with soda in white bread compresses. Its flesh is soaked in apple cider vinegar, sprinkled with soda itself and applied to the affected areas. On top - parchment or polyethylene, cotton wool, an unnecessary rag, and all this is wrapped with an elastic bandage. You need to hold the compress for 8 hours, so it is better to do it at night. The course is 10 days.
An interesting recipe is also used for the treatment of varicose veins with soda - also a compress, but only with cabbage leaves. The principle of creating a warming dressing is the same, that is, parchment, cotton and bandage are preserved. But as a therapeutic component, soda is used, which is applied directly to the skin, and cabbage leaves, smeared with soap and applied over the soda.
Treatment with varicose soda brings noticeable relief and is fully justified. This is understandable - traditional medicine stores only effective recipes. But it is worth remembering that even such an effective remedy as soda for varicose veins is only an auxiliary method and should be used in combination with traditional types of treatment.
