The Most Effective Remedy for Varicose Veins (Venous Insufficiency)
In this article, I’m going to talk about a perfect remedy for people who have varicose veins. But before I go into this, we’re going to discuss what the venous system is and how it differs from the arterial system.
What are veins?
A vein is a type of blood vessel that returns deoxygenated blood from your organs to your heart. These differ from your arteries, which deliver oxygenated blood from your heart to the rest of your body.
Veins are part of your circulatory system. They work together with other blood vessels and your heart to keep your blood moving.
Veins hold most of the blood in your body. Nearly 75% of your blood is in your veins.
Types of veins
There are two main types of veins, pulmonary and systemic.
People can further classify systemic veins into either:
- Deep veins: These veins usually have a corresponding artery nearby and are in muscle tissue. These veins may have a one-way valve to prevent blood from flowing backward.
- Superficial veins: These veins do not have an artery with the same name nearby and are close to the skin’s surface. They may also have a one-way valve.
