Having a good blood circulation is essential for the normal functioning of the organism because it has the mission of carrying oxygen and all the substances and nutrients that the bones, cells, muscles, organs and bones need.
Poor circulation generates, for example, cold hands and feet, needle-like pricks, a tingling sensation, cramps or numbness.

These are symptoms that cells and tissues are not getting enough blood flow and therefore not getting the nutrients and oxygen they need to function properly.

Specialists have warned that if the blood does not flow well, the body cannot get rid of all waste and toxins. This can end up causing a person very serious health problems.
Meanwhile, varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that can be seen under the skin and usually appear on the legs, although there are times when they form on other parts of the body. Hemorrhoids, for example, are a type of varicose vein that develops in the rectum.

Sometimes varicose veins can limit activities. Symptoms may worsen when sitting or standing for long periods of time, and may improve when lying down or keeping your legs elevated.
This disease occurs when the vein walls and valves become weak or damaged and can cause blood to pool. It can cause back flow, known as reflux.

It also occurs from sitting or standing for long periods of time, from having an inactive lifestyle, or from a family history of varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis (a type of venous thromboembolism). There is an increased risk in the elderly.
