The veins in the legs have 1 way valves similar to the valves in the heart, so if you squeeze a leg vein will?
you increase your body's circulation of blood?
The way the heart works is a chamber is squeezed by the heart muscles, this causes blood to flow thru a 1 way valve, does the same thing happen when the vein is squeezed.

Varicose veins are the enlarged, dilated, tortuous and swollen veins seen bulging and protruding on the surface of the skin. Varicose veins are seen among half of the mankind above the age of 50 years.
Varicose veins differ in color from person to person. It may be blue, red, greenish blue or of the color of flesh. The damages caused in veins in this case are generally not serious. But it is concerned on cosmetic reasons. Majority of varicose veins are seen on legs, that too mostly on the thighs and back of the calves, and to a lesser extent on the inner side of the legs. Varicose veins called hemorrhoids are, at times, seen in the vagina, around the anus or on the buttocks during pregnancy.
Spider Veins are having similarity with Varicose Veins. But spider veins are of lesser intensity. Spider veins are mostly of red or blue color, smaller in size and closer to the surface of the skin than Varicose Veins, spider veins look like branches of a tree or like webs of the spider with gagged and short lines. Unlike varicose veins, spider veins can be seen not only on the legs but also on the face, covering very small to very large areas of the skin.
What causes Varicose Veins and Spider Veins?
The function of the heart is to pump blood with nutrients and also make oxygen reach each and every cell of the body. Arteries and veins have some difference in their functions. Arteries are meant to carry the oxygenated blood from the heart to all parts of the body, where as the veins are carrying the impure deoxygenated blood back from all these parts to the heart. Blood is pushed back to the heart from the limbs and other lower parts of the body, when muscles of the legs are squeezed. This flow is against the gravitational force and hence strenuous, Veins have to function as one way valves to prevent the blood from flowing backwards. There are valves, with one way flaps, in the veins solely to prevent the above mentioned backward flow of blood, while being carried back to the heart, up from the legs.
There is the possibility of some blood leaking back to the veins, when the one way valve in it, becomes weak. This state of affairs results in collection of blood in the weak portions in the veins causing clogging and congestion. This defect is medically termed as venous insufficiency. The block in the veins causes abnormal enlargement of the veins. Such veins could either be varicose veins or spider veins. Hormonal imbalance, continuous exposure to scorching sun and injuries also can be cause spider veins. The real cause of varicose and spider veins are not known specifically to the medical profession even. Some conditions which lead to develop varicose and spider veins are heredity and hormonal imbalance. The strongest factor is heretical that is having birth with weak venous valves. The next role is that of hormones. The variation in the hormone levels upcoming during puberty, pregnancy or menopause; and also the consumption of estrogen, progesterone, birth control pills etc causes varicose veins and spider veins. Rise of both, hormone levels and volume of blood, during pregnancy also causes these conditions of varicose and spider veins. Normally, varicose veins, which appear during pregnancy, will be disappearing 3 months after the delivery. But additional pregnancies may cause development of more abnormal veins. Extra pressure is exerted to the veins of the legs in persons who are obese that is having over weight, which may aggravate varicose and spider veins. Veins will have to function heavily to pump blood back into the heart, in the case of those who have to stand and sit for a long time. This in due course will lead to varicose and spider veins. Veins of the legs have the duty, when compared with that of other veins in seeing that the blood is carried back to the heart from the feet. The highest pressure is endured by these veins, which may developed as varicose and spider veins. This pressure can be higher than that is imposed to the one way valves in the veins. Varicose veins and spider veins do not ordinarily require medical treatment. But it may sometimes become uncomfortable and may appear to be unattractive, when looked through cosmetic point of view. It causes swelling on the legs and feet also. Chronic pain is uncommon in such cases, but muscles of legs may become fatigued and heavy. Throb and crams, especially during the night, are also the reported symptoms. Itching and burning are felt on the legs especially around the ankles due to varicose and spider veins.
Are varicose veins and spider veins dangerous?
Not necessarily. But there are rare instances of varicose veins and spider veins having caused serious problems, which could be controlled through medical intervention. Varicose veins, when it becomes chronic can cause a condition called venous insufficiency. This is an acute stage resulted due to the clogging of the blood, preventing the flow of venous blood back to the heart. Either deep vein thrombosis (clotting of blood) or severe bleeding infection may arise then. Injury to the varicose veins also may lead to such a situation. The above said blood clot may move from the varicose veins in the leg to the lungs. There, it may cause blocking of functioning of lungs or heart, which is a very dangerous situation. Beside the same, sores and skin ulcers may develop due to the lack of nourishment on the tissues of the skin around the varicose veins.
Useful Herbal supplement for Varicose Veins - VASKO + VEINISH
Mechanism of Action:
The food supplements VEINISH with VASKO, it helps Venous and arterial endothelial fatty deposits dissolved and the damaged valves in veins (failed to hold the blood leaking backwards) get repaired to regain the tensile strength. Fresh collagen fibers are laid down parallel to the old ones and new connective tissue is formed in the valves. The new endothelium grown will contribute the strength enough to have sufficient tensile strength to hold venous blood at compartments against the gravity. In arteries also repair of the endothelium after dissolving the fatty deposits is happening. The same way in lower limb arterial narrowing (Burger's Disease) that ends in gangrene is also reversible with help of VEINISH with VASKO.
VEINISH and VASKO is a non-invasive and safer way compared to the surgical stripping off the varicose vein treatment or modern treatment of intravenous laser therapy.
VASKO and VEINISH will also helps prevent and reverse other problems at the same time.
VEINISH also improves the blood perfusion to the brain as it regains the healthy endothelium of vessels to increase its nitric oxide output. This paves the way to increase neuronal metabolism and balanced neurotransmitter state. That helps reversal of brain degenerative diseases like dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
VEINISH helps to improvise the skin health by stimulating new Glycosaminoglycans and collagen in the layers. And also stimulates immunity with augmented blood perfusion to the skin layers. Once venous flow improves, dependant eczema reverses. This effect helps reversing chronic eczema and scleroderma. Moreover, it helps for wound healing with good quality scar formation in the varicose ulcer and eczematous ulcers.
Side effects: - There are no known side effects.
