Traditional Chinese medicine believes that varicose veins are caused by congenital deficiency, weak tendons and veins, long-term standing and overwork, which further damages the tendons and veins, leading to disharmony between the meridians, poor blood circulation, blood trapped in the lower part, blood stasis blocking vein expansion and filling, and long-term crisscrossing and winding. Translated into popular words, varicose veins are caused by poor blood circulation, congestion blocking blood return, and poor blood flow, leading to varicose veins. Long-term deposition of blood vessels will produce damp heat, which will lead to local tissue malnutrition, dull skin, gradual deepening of color and even ulcers.

To improve varicose veins, Chinese medicine suggests:

First, avoid standing or sitting for a long time. You should always let your legs move up and down. If possible, it is best to take a short walk.

Second, always raise your legs above the heart level, keep your knees bent and promote blood circulation in your legs.

Third, avoid lifting heavy objects that often exceed 10 kg.

Fourth, maintain a normal weight, avoid being overweight and increase the burden on the legs.

Fifth, check whether the calf is swollen every night.

Sixth, quit smoking.

Seventh, keep your feet and legs clean to avoid injury.

Eighth, if the leg skin is dry, apply the medicine according to the doctor's advice.

When sleeping on the ninth night, the height of the foot pad is about 10 cm.
