3. Mud Packs
Using a mudpack on the area where the spider veins are present could help to reduce the enlargement of the veins. Many people who have spider veins report a reduction in pain after using a mud pack. It is important to use a fine clay for this process. You will simply mix the clay with some water and apply it to your legs before you go to bed, and then wash off in the morning. The clay will dry through the night. During the drying process, the clay will contract, which results in a tightening effect.
Mud packs work in a similar way to compression socks as it will constrict the large blood vessels and promote the flow of blood. In addition, the clay can help to draw out impurities from the skin and from the blood vessels. It is important to note that clay is considered to be sterile, but should not be used if the varicose veins are complicated with ulcers.
