If spider veins are accompanied by swelling, pain, rashes, itching or restless legs, you should immediately go to the doctor. Sometimes they may cause complications such as skin ulcer, bleeding, phlebitis and deep vein thrombosis.
Here are some home remedies you can use to get rid of spider veins when they are not accompanied by other issues:
1. Ginger. Ginger stimulates blood circulation and helps break up fibrin, a blood protein that builds up in areas where the tiny veins are injured. Drink daily 2-3 cups of ginger tea with raw organic honey and your symptoms may disappear. Avoid this remedy if you have high blood pressure.
2. Ginkgo Biloba. Maybe you’ve heard before about this amazing herb. It has the power to enhance tissue oxygenation and strengthen the tissues that form vein walls.
