The common causes of spider veins:
Similarly to other vein and artery related diseases spider veins is a condition, that has to do with poorer blood circulation and with the thinning walls of arteries, which would eventually make veins appear more visible and eventually to bulge out from underneath the skin.

Myths to dispel:
- Apple cider vinegar compression
Before coconut oil, we went through the hysteria surrounding the magical health effects of apple cider vinegar and it looks this this is one myth that eventually stayed. Unfortunately no scientific research could prove that the topical application of apple cider vinegar does any good with treating spider veins.
- Putting tomatoes on the affected areas
Similarly to ACV tomatoes have tons of positive effects including a whole lot of vitamins and minerals. However noone could prove they actually work in making spider veins disappear, even only slightly.
- Herbal remedies
Although there are tons of bio-treatments and natural crèmes or essential oils out there, which include aloe vera, gingko bilboa, horseradish and Butchers’ broom, there is no actual proof these actually help in making spider veins disappear. On the contrary however, they will surely diminish your budget as most of them have a hefty price. However, you can try them but not before consulting your doctor, as the effects of natural remedies can negatively counteract with some other medication you are taking. Unfortunately, being natural doesn’t mean a substance cannot do harm with your body. Therefore, always be careful before applying any essential oils or other crèmes on your spider veins.
- Sauna and hot and cold shower
Finnish sauna can tend to help with blood circulation issues, but always be careful and consult with a vein doctor NJ before trying these treatments on your own.
Many people would do anything just to avoid medical assistance but at times like these, it’s better to be proactive and make sure to get a proper treatment for your spider veins, to avoid any later complications and the development of more serious circulatory issues.
