Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)

What It Is:
CVI happens when the leg veins and their valves become too weak to push blood back to the heart. Blood pools in the lower legs, causing swelling, heaviness, pain, skin changes, varicose veins, and sometimes ulcers. CVI severity stages range from spider veins (C1) to skin changes and ulcers (C5–C6).

Natural Ways to Support CVI:
🌿 Movement + muscle pump support: Calf raises, walking, cycling, swimming.
🌿 Anti-inflammatory living: Reduce toxins and increase antioxidant-rich foods.
🌿 Lymphatic support: Dry brushing, rebounding, massage, hydration.
🌿 Herbal support for veins: Horse chestnut, gotu kola, butcher’s broom, and guggul for vascular integrity and inflammation reduction.
🌿 Compression when needed: Helps relieve swelling and pressure.

CVI doesn’t have to be a life sentence of discomfort. Let’s work together to gently restore flow, comfort, and vitality.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

What It Is:
DVT is a blood clot in the deep veins, usually in the leg. It can be silent or present as swelling, tenderness, warmth, or discoloration. A DVT can travel to the lungs and become a pulmonary embolism. Risks include immobility, surgery, smoking, hormones, infection, age, obesity, and genetic factors.

Holistic Support (Preventative Only):
✨ DVT symptoms need immediate medical care. Natural support focuses on lifestyle prevention:
🌿 Daily walking & lower-leg activation
🌿 Hydration + circulation-boosting herbs (ginger, guggul, turmeric, cayenne)
🌿 Healthy weight management to reduce vein pressure
🌿 Support for inflammation & vessel integrity (vitamin C, flavonoids, berries, leafy greens)
🌿 Breathwork: Enhances oxygenation and supports vascular tone.

If you have risk factors, let’s create a personalised circulation-supporting plan that works with your lifestyle.

Blood Clots (General)

What They Are:
Blood clots are gel-like masses formed when blood changes from liquid to semi-solid. They are vital for healing but harmful when forming unnecessarily. Complications include DVT, pulmonary embolism, stroke, and heart attack. Symptoms can include swelling, throbbing, chest pain, or breathlessness.

Holistic Support (Preventative Only):
✨ Always seek medical support with symptoms of a clot — these are medical emergencies.
For daily prevention and healthy circulation:
🌿 Stay mobile: Avoid long, stagnant periods. Even small movements on flights or at a desk help.
🌿 Hydration: Thick, dehydrated blood moves slower.
🌿 Anti-inflammatory diet: Turmeric, garlic, ginger, omega-3s, leafy greens.
🌿 Natural vessel support: Guggul has shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vascular support properties in research.

🌿 Manage stress: Stress hormones tighten blood vessels and slow circulation.

If circulation or clot risk concerns you, let’s take a comprehensive, natural look at your daily habits and health picture.

Spider Veins

What They Are:
Spider veins are small, thin, red or purple veins that sit just under the skin, often on the legs or face. They’re mostly cosmetic but can reflect deeper circulatory strain.

Holistic Ways to Support Naturally:
🌿 Reduce inflammation: Antioxidant-rich foods and reducing sugar and alcohol help vessel integrity.
🌿 Support collagen: Vitamin C, silica, bone broth, and natural vitamin A from foods.
🌿 Gentle movement: Low-impact walking, stretching, and avoiding long periods of sitting or standing.
🌿 Topical support: Witch hazel, horse chestnut cream, and vitamin K-rich blends.
🌞 Sun protection: Protects delicate facial veins from UV-related damage.

Your skin often mirrors internal health. If you’d like a holistic look at your circulatory picture, I’m here to help.

Varicose Veins

What They Are:
Varicose veins are large, twisted, bulging veins, usually in the legs, caused when the valves inside the veins weaken and allow blood to flow backwards and pool. Symptoms include heaviness, aching, itching, swelling, and night cramps.

Holistic Ways to Support Them Naturally:

🌿 Movement therapy: Walking, rebounding, yoga, and ankle rotations help pump blood back toward the heart.
🌿 Elevate your legs daily: Even 10 minutes reduces pressure and inflammation.
🌿 Herbal allies: Horse chestnut, butcher’s broom, gotu kola, and guggul to support vessel tone and healthy circulation.
🌿 Anti-inflammatory nutrition: Berries, citrus, leafy greens, omega-3 fats, and hydration.
🌿 Compression (gentle): Helps blood return and reduces swelling.
