What about " spider veins ", can they be removed with surgery or any natural way?

Spider veins are a pre-cursor to the more severe varicose veins. To understand this better, consider what the veins do as far as their job. They carry waste back to the eliminatory organs, right? Over the years, the veins are worked and over-worked during this course of doing their job. So, they begin to lose tone in the walls as well as begin a clogging of the vein by the very waste they're intended to deal with.

But if you look a little closer, you'll see that there are other systems in the body that have slowed in doing their job of waste elimination. You can follow the trail back to the sluggish liver. But often, times, it doesn't stop there. By then, you'll have indications that the endocrine has also been affected. I've discovered over the years that all the systems of the body must be given attention by prioritizing which systems need the most attention. Only then can there be a successful program for better health.

OK. I've opened a can of worms. I'm a professional herbalist and it's my job to consult with the client to determine which herbs I will custom blend for their specific needs. So, please don't ask me to recommend an herb. It's more involved than just printing information out over the net for people to play with by themselves.

I guess I wasn't too helpful. Sorry.
