Varicose veins are a common vascular condition that can cause veins in the legs to become enlarged, twisted, and protruding. This condition impacts the appearance and, in severe cases, can lead to complications such as skin ulcers, bleeding, infections, and in severe cases can lead to blood clots. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) employs acupressure, exercises, and dietary adjustments to effectively prevent and improve varicose veins.
The main cause of varicose veins is prolonged standing and sitting. Dysfunction of the vein valves leads to poor blood return, causing blood to accumulate in the veins and increase venous pressure, causing the veins to dilate and deform.
