Today we cover four ways to help prevent and address the condition: Get regular exercise. This not only promotes healthy circulation, but can help to discourage weight gain and obesity, which are associated with increased risk of varicose veins. Leg placement. Avoiding crossing your legs while sitting and try to elevate your legs whenever possible. Grape seed extract. Commonly prescribed in France for varicose veins and other vascular problems, grape seed extract contains proanthocyanidins. These powerful antioxidant compounds make blood vessels more elastic and less likely to leak the fluids that cause swelling in the legs. Horse chestnut seed extract (HCSE) is widely used in Europe for chronic venous insufficiency, a syndrome that may include leg swelling, varicose veins, leg pain, itching, and skin ulcers. The active ingredient in HCSE is believed to escin, a compound that helps support normal vessel wall functioning.
