Some of our non-invasive ways of alleviating the symptoms of vein issues without any form of medications or surgery include:
Compression Stockings
Compression stockings are elastic garments that are worn on the legs throughout the day. The stockings compress the limbs and enhance the circulation of blood. Compression stockings help treat varicose veins.

Patients suffering from vein issues are encouraged to exercise regularly (30 minutes daily). Daily aerobic exercise will help improve the circulation of blood throughout the legs and other parts of the body.
Diet Changes
The food we eat also affects our general health directly. You can improve vascular functioning by increasing fiber and protein intake. Also, take more of a balanced diet that contains a variety of whole foods and reduce your salt intake.
