the tiny capillaries below the skin surface
Varicose veins occur when blood leaks back into the vein and collects there, causing the vein to become congested or clogged. This congestion will cause the vein to abnormally enlarge. These enlarged veins can be either varicose veins or spider veins. Herbs that, constrict veins, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and reduce inflammation have a tonic effect on the blood vessels, gradually improving their overall health.
