The first sign of a varicose vein is swelling along the path the vein takes down the leg. After this most people notice bluish or reddish tinged coloring to the area as well as a swelling along the vein. These varicose veins are result of damaged one way valves that helped push the blood through the veins and on to the heart. When the valves become damaged the blood is able to pool within the veins and decreases the ability of the body to remove toxins and oxygenate the tissues.
At this time, traditional Western medicine believes that sclerotherapy is the gold standard for treating varicose veins. However, some insurance companies do not cover this expense if there are no other underlying medical symptoms. And, some women would like to try other more natural remedies in order to treat their varicose veins and prevent any further from occurring.

After a day on our feet, most of us enjoy a good foot massage. It relieves pain, alleviates tension, and just plain feels good. But did you know that with a few modifications, a foot massage can have numerous other health benefits?
Reflexology is often considered the same thing as foot massage, but it’s actually an ancient practice. Evidence of its practice has been found on Egyptian wall paintings dating back as far as 2330 BC, and it is believed to be even older than that. Reflexology has much in common with the Oriental practices of shiatsu and acupuncture, both of which are believed to have originated around the same time as reflexology.
There are some important differences between reflexology and an ordinary foot massage. While a foot massage usually involves the entire foot or the portion that is in pain, reflexology involves specific spots on the feet. The goals of reflexology usually have nothing at all to do with the feet themselves. Rather, the purpose is to either benefit a specific part of the body or promote overall health.

Reflexology, also called zone therapy, comes under the heading of alternative medicine. It involves the practice of massaging, squeezing or pushing parts of the feet, hands, body or in the ears with the goals of affecting other parts of the body.
Interestingly, although reflexology has been classified as an alternative medicine approach, there is no consensus among practitioners (reflexologist) on how the practice is supposed to work.
There does appear to be a unifying theme or idea that areas of the feet and hands correspond to different areas of the body. The theory is that by manipulating these areas the reflexologist can make significant changes in a specific organ system or in an individual’s overall health.
The ideas behind reflexology are not new. It was practiced in the Egyptian culture as early as 2330 B.C. the practice, as we know it today, was first researched and developed by Eunice Ingham. Her first work was published in 1938 and since 1942 workshops have been constructed around the world.
