Inversion therapy has been around since 400 BC. It consists of putting your body into a position where your head is lower than your heart. Originally patients were hung upside down from ladder rungs in the best interest of their health. Inverted positions are said to reverse the effects of gravity.

Modern day inversion therapy is not all that different despite the more updated apparatuses such as inversion tables, gravity boots, inversion chairs and hammock suspensions.

Start out with just 1 to 2 minutes upside down and go from there based on how you feel.

While inversion is not a replacement for varicose vein treatment, it may offer some limited relief. inversion can help your heart to clear the blood from your feet, legs and lower body. This allows for easier circulation which can assist in draining the blood from varicose veins where it may be otherwise pooling.

5 Herbs for Healthy Circulation

circulation

Diabetes, damaged veins, and heart conditions can all benefit from a healthy diet infused with herbs that help with circulation. Peripheral arterial disease tends to be caused by lifestyle choices such as obesity, smoking, and lack of exercise. If you or someone you know has this condition or any venous insufficiency, herbs can be a wonderful way to increase blood flow throughout the body. Some people have circulation problems such as Reynaud’s disease that can benefit from home remedy

Healthy circulation uses home remedies such as herbs and vitamins to support its system. Of course, if you decide to take herbs to help with your condition, please consult with your doctor. Medicine interactions can occur and it is best to be safe before taking herbs by getting your doctor’s okay.

Important herbs for circulation:

  • Parsley: this common herb can be found in many dishes. It helps to open up the arteries and veins for better circulation
  • Cayenne Pepper: the heat of this herb is its dominant trait. Its ability to help blood flow is why it is a common herb found in circulatory supplements.
  • Ginger Root: in addition to this herb calming the stomach and digestive track, it also helps to open up blood vessels.
  • Horse Chestnut: it is important that you are aware that it is deadly to eat this herb raw. It is poisonous. It is safe to take in a processed form when an ingredient in supplements, though.
  • Prickly Ash: a stimulant, it is recommended for rheumatism, impurities of the blood, those with Raynaud’s disease. Great for digestion and circulation issues.

The herbs above all help increase circulation, however, if you have vein problems you need to consult with a vein doctor.
