How Do Veins Work, and Why Do Some People Have More Visible Veins Than Others? - #15166
I’ve always wondered why some people have prominent veins while others don’t. My veins are really visible, especially in my hands and forearms, but my friend’s veins hardly show at all. Is this just genetics, or does it have something to do with blood circulation and hydration levels? I also read that some people develop varicose veins over time. What causes veins to become swollen or twisted? Can this be prevented naturally with exercise or diet? Does Ayurveda have any remedies for keeping veins healthy and preventing circulation problems? I’ve heard that Gotu Kola and Guggulu are good for vein health—do they actually work? If anyone has knowledge about veins and circulation, I’d love to understand why some people’s veins are more visible and what we can do to maintain good vein health.
