Miracle Food: Bilberries for Varicose Veins
An article was published last week by
The Rapid City Journal which paid homage to cranberries, a source of many reported healing powers. Within the article, there was also brief (but notable) mention of the healing properties of another berry, the bilberry. Bilberries obviously aren't nearly as commonly consumed as cranberries (raise your hand if you even knew that they were a European type of blueberry) but they may gain in popularity once people begin to realize that they may reduce the appearance of
varicose veins.
"Bilberries in a concentrated form are also beneficial for strengthening all other capillaries, arteries and veins. They may, therefore, be used for reducing capillary fragility and permeability in conditions such as varicose veins."
Like with all healing foods, bilberries alone aren't going to help you take care of your varicose veins. You will still want to look into
Endovenous Laser Treatment for removing or reducing varicose veins and you won't want to neglect your
other vein treatment options either. But it wouldn't hurt to start taking a look at your local specialty food store to see if bilberries are available anywhere near you.
