If in the evening your legs are “buzzing”, and the shoes begin to crush, the vessels stalled and pull the excess water down.
A phlebologist on 5-TV (18+) advises a contrast shower “Cold-Toplo”:
Such mini-contrast relieves evening severity and improves the tone of the walls of the veins.
And the endocrinologist Zuhra Pavlova in his Telegram channel (18+) adds:
This is also the prevention of varicose veins.
How to do it
In the shower, direct the stream to the lower leg: 10 seconds with warm water (~ 37 ° C), then switch and water 10 seconds with cool (~ 20 ° C). Make 4 circles, end with cold – the whole procedure takes exactly 40 seconds.
Why it works
Heat expands the vessels, the cold instantly narrows, it turns out a fitness for veins: the blood runs faster, the excess fluid leaves, and after the shower the legs are felt light. The first sensations are lightness in the legs and a surge of vigor, as if drank coffee. After two weeks of daily practice, many note that caviar swell less even after a whole day on their feet, and the shoes are sitting freely. And all this is free.
In acute thrombosis, active varicose veins or uncontrolled pressure, we put the method and go to the doctor for consultation.
