Pain in Veins and Feet for an 80-Year-Old - #50317

●What are varicose veins? Our veins contain tiny valves that move blood upward toward the heart. When these valves become weak, blood begins to pool at the bottom, causing the veins to swell and bulge. This condition is called varicose veins. ●Main causes • Standing for long periods of time • Obesity • Pregnancy • Genetic factors • Old blood clots • Infrequent movement ●Ayurvedic Remedy •1. Ashwagandha Powder with Milk: Drink 1 teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder mixed with lukewarm milk before going to bed at night. It reduces nerve weakness, balances Vata, and provides inner strength. Take regularly for at least 60 days. •2. Mandukaparni (Gotu Kola) on an empty stomach in the morning. Take 500 mg of Mandukaparni powder with lukewarm water. It increases nerve elasticity and improves blood flow. Consume regularly for 2-3 months. •3. Use of Garlic Empty stomach in the morning Lightly crush 2 cloves of raw garlic and swallow them with lukewarm water. This thins the blood and prevents clots. •4. Aloe Vera Gel Paste: Apply fresh aloe vera gel to the swollen veins before going to bed. Wash it off after 15-20 minutes. This reduces swelling and irritation. • 5. Massage with sesame oil (most important): Take lukewarm sesame oil every night. Gently massage from the toes to the thighs, from the bottom up, for 5-7 minutes. This helps to circulate stagnant blood upwards. ●Lifestyle Improvements • Avoid standing for long periods of time • Walk a little every 30 minutes • Keep your legs elevated while sleeping Pavanmuktasana, Viparita Karani Asana • Bathe with lukewarm water • Eat fiber-rich foods
