does anyone know what i can do to help the circulation better in my leggs went to the dr and circulation isnt?

Answer 1

Most blood thinners help, but they may cause internal bleeding, especially when used in excess (Gingko is a famous example.)
If you take a blood thinner, also take Vitamin E to maintain a balance.

The best product I've found (and use myself) is Arnicaid from Hylands, Inc. This is a homeopathic product that should be available at your local (or on-line) health food/vitamin store.
It's made from "Arnica Montana". There are other products with that name (Arnica Montana). Most of them are too weak (including the one from Hylands) to be effective.

If you have probelems with cramping, Hylands also has a product, aptly called "Leg Cramp." I have to use that priodically.

Answer 2

This is an old remedy but works wonders...

After a bath or shower, and once you have dried your skin, use a natural bristle hair brush over your legs from top to bottom and front to back. This stimulation causes the small capillaries to open up and flow more successfully though your veins. After doing this treatment for a few weeks, you will find your skin will become softer, more healthy appearing and the circulation should improve.

Adding to this, do frequent massages starting from the toes up. Use a circulation stimulating massage oil or cream. The suggestion for capsaicin containing creams works for some but if not, try any mint containing cream or oil.

Lastly, walk. Take short (20 min) walks daily while wearing very comfortable shoes and non-confining socks.

Answer 3

I used to work with an old vascular surgeon and he was the smartest, most practical doctor I ever met. Depending on drugs alone will not solve the problem. He used to advise people that had cluadication (pain in the legs after short periods of walking from decreased circulation) to walk until it hurts and then walk one more block. Your body has alternate routes of blood delivery and you just have to develop them to increase the circulation. It's best to talk to your doctor before you start but walking is a great way to improve your circulation.

Answer 4

Isn't what? If you have peripheral vascular disease (PVA) you may feel cramping and weakness in your legs when you walk. More common in older, sedentary people. WALKING IS GREAT, helps develop collateral circulation and relieve the symptoms. Sounds like you need to talk to your doctor in more detail. Ask specifically what is the problem, and ask what things you should do to help relieve the symptoms. Also, there are medications that sometimes are appropriate. Hope you do well.

Answer 5

Swimming is good for circulation...also try to exercise.....leg lifts.

Answer 6

There are creams that will help try finding a cream that contains capsicum. They should have it in health food stores. It may burn a little but it should help.

Answer 7

exercise?
