Varicose veins, also known as varicoses or varicosities, occur when your veins become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood.

Varicose veins typically appear swollen and raised, and have a bluish-purple or red color. They are often painful. The condition is very common, especially in women.

Emotions:

fear of moving forward and making changes
feeling burdened with obligations
missing "lost" freedoms
feeling pressured and pushed
conflicted communication ("I cannot ask for support")
unhealed conflict with mom

Supportive Affirmations:

"I no longer have to prove my worth by carrying burdens. I find joy in choosing to move my body."

Questions to ask yourself:

What freedoms do I miss in life?
Why do I have to do everything myself?
What value is there in overworking myself?
If I had permission to take time off, what would I do with that leisure time?
What pattern that makes me feel obligated did I inherit from my mother (or women in my family)?
How do I feel about being a housewife?
What price would I have to pay to reclaim my freedom (marriage, monetary loss, judgments, rejection, etc...)?

Can you make a connection between the patterns at the root of this condition and why it is mostly the women who get it?

Natural remedies that could help:

gentle movement exercise that you actually enjoy doing (no more "killing it" in the gym! HAVE FUN!)
Elevating legs after a long day (it feels so good😉)
Delegate, delegate, delegate! You do not have to do everything yourself!
AT WORK: Use up all of your vacation days!
Compression stockings, lymphatic massage
sometimes surgical intervention is needed; look for doctors that integrate natural and modern solutions
