Skin care for varicose veins

The term varicose veins is used colloquially to describe visible veins that are particularly noticeable on the legs. Many people perceive these changes primarily as a visual issue. The skin in the affected areas is often described as thinner, tauter or more sensitive. Touch, pressure or tight-fitting clothing can be perceived as uncomfortable more quickly and the skin sometimes appears irritated or sensitive.

The skin is particularly sensitive in the affected areas and requires careful care with gentle cosmetics.

We recommend supporting your skin with our Bee Cream if it is particularly sensitive and tense due to varicose veins.

Bee Cream
The bedrop Bee Cream is a bee venom ointment and contains high doses of bee venom. Bee Cream is used for the natural care of sensitive skin with varicose veins. By massaging the Bee Cream with melittin into the skin, blood circulation is stimulated and the ingredients can be absorbed by the skin.

The natural herbal extracts contained in Bee Cream have a cooling and pleasant effect on the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and light.

We recommend applying Bee Cream to the affected area several times a day and allowing it to absorb well. You can apply Bee Cream on its own or mix it with a body lotion (e.g. Bedrop Royale Lotion) and use it diluted.

There are many ways to prevent varicose veins, alleviate symptoms or treat them specifically. A holistic approach consisting of exercise, diet and suitable care products has proven to be effective.

The best tips for everyday life:

• Regular exercise:

Walking, cycling, swimming - anything that activates the calf muscle pump.

• Raise your legs:

Relieves venous return, ideal after strenuous days.

• Venous gymnastics:

• Wear compression stockings:

They additionally stretch the blood vessels.

Fresh fruit, sufficient fluids and a salt-reduced diet can contribute to normal vascular function as part of a healthy lifestyle.

• Alternating hot and cold showers:
