Varicose Veins: Natural Ways to Improve Circulation | Dr. Hansaji

Varicose veins develop when veins in the legs become enlarged and twisted, often because their valves do not move blood efficiently back towards the heart. Gravity, prolonged sitting or standing, family history, ageing and hormonal changes can all play a role. Regular movement and appropriate care can help manage symptoms and support healthier circulation. In this video, Hansaji explains practical ways to improve leg movement, reduce heaviness and build habits that support venous health. What you will learn: 1. How the calf muscles act as a pump to help blood return from the legs towards the heart. 2. Simple ankle movements to practise while sitting. 3. Why regular walking and short movement breaks throughout the day matter. 4. How Yogendra Talasana, Virabhadrasana and Utkatasana engage the leg muscles. 5. How Yogendra Yashtikasana provides a gentle whole-body stretch. 6. How supported Viparita Karani or legs-up-the-wall may help ease leg heaviness for some people. 7. Why Sarvangasana should only be attempted by people for whom the posture is appropriate, with guidance from a qualified yoga teacher. 8. How fibre-rich foods, adequate fluids and regular activity can help prevent constipation and straining. 9. Why maintaining a healthy weight, choosing comfortable footwear and elevating the legs may help manage symptoms. 10. When compression stockings may be useful and why correct fitting matters. Everyday habits for healthier legs: Avoid remaining in one position for too long. Take brief walking breaks, move your ankles regularly and elevate your legs when comfortable. Do not massage prominent or painful veins forcefully. Compression stockings should be selected with appropriate medical advice, especially if you have other circulation problems. Yoga and exercise can help manage symptoms, but they do not remove varicose veins. Sudden swelling or pain in one leg, particularly with warmth or redness, requires urgent medical evaluation. Chest pain or sudden breathlessness requires emergency care. Watch & Subscribe to our NEW TYI Shorts Channel!
