Varicose Veins are enlarged, twisted veins that usually appear on the legs when blood doesn’t flow properly through the veins. They can cause swelling, aching, heaviness, and visible bulging veins.
Some natural remedies are often suggested to help relieve symptoms, though they usually do not completely remove varicose veins.
