Contravaris. Vein relief, step by step.

Contravaris is made from Ruscus Aculeatus, an European native bush which active ingredient -Ruscogenins- aids in the prevention of symptoms associated with CVI. Its potent vasoconstrictive and anti-inflammatory effects that greatly reduce the feelings of weight and tiredness, helps improve blood circulation.

Contravaris is a natural and effective solution that will help you prevent or relieve those pesky Tired Legs symptoms.

Feeling pain when using high heels? When you get home after work, have you felt that your legs are heavier? That you only want to take off your shoes or that you feel your legs are swollen? Do you get cramps or feel that your legs are itchy? Have you noticed that there are some veins more visible than others or do you see little spidery veins on your legs?

If you have suffered from any of these symptoms, you may be showing early signs of Superficial Venous Insuffiency (SVI), Deep Venous Insuffiency (DVI) or Peropherial Arterial Disease (PAD). These diseases cause the weakening of our vasculatory system, debilitating the outer walls of our veins or arteries and cause some, any or all the symptoms mentioned previously.

If you are at the early stages, you can alleviate the discomfort and try to prevent the worsening of these conditions!

The first thing that you must do is change your habits. Try increasing your fiber intake and drinking more water. Also reduce sugars and fats in your diet and if you can, try to walk or do some exercise daily. Use comfortable clothes, avoid crossing your legs while sitting and try sleeping with your legs elevated. All these tips will help you reduce the discomfort you feel.

Now we will show you a couple of simple exercises that may help you relieve symptoms of tired legs.

Varicose veins are the visible consequence from Superficial Chronic Venous Insufficiency (SVI), which affects how the venous valves work.

The venous valves are elastic flaps of tissue that open and close in alternation to let blood flow back to the heart.

When the venous valves malfunction, at a celular level the quantity of oxigen that tissues receive is reduced (Hypoxia), which in turn releases noxious substances for the venous walls, such as hyaluronidase and elastase.

Hyaluronidase can make “holes” on the our blood vessel walls. Elastase degrades them, making the blood vessels stiff and frail.

Due to the damage caused by these two substances, blood vessels present and increase in permeability, structural damage, and swelling which result in the weakening of the venous walls.

This causes the blood to accumulate at the venous valves and, due to the pressure, varicose veins start to appear. The abnormal blood flow creats an additional preassure and starts to affect other venous valves.

First Step

Make the skin of your legs look young and healthy. To achieve this, you will need to use a body scrub all over your wet legs, massaging your legs with ascending movements starting from your toes. Remember to scrub with a little more intensity in the rougher zones like the knees.

Massaging your legs this way not only helps to get rid of all the accumulated dead cells, but it also enhances the absorption and effects of creams and oils that you use.

Remember to use lukewarm water when massaging your legs.

Second Step

Hydrate your legs!

Pay special care to hydrate your legs during winter, since it can become dry easily, especially during the cold season.

Using hydrating creams daily will help keep our legs smooth and our skin more flexible.

Creams and oils will be your greatest allies to repair, rejuvenate and/or illuminate your skin.

Third Step

A traditional option to make your legs look good is hair removal, be it waxing, laser, etc.

There are many other ways if you want to manage your leg hair that you can look up if you so choose.

Fourth Step

Try avoiding overly hot places because it may dilate your veins and they may start to show.

To help you with that sense of weight you may feel on your legs, try spraying cold water sporadically and then massage your legs in a circular move ascending from your toes. You may also use cold gels or menthol-infused oils/creams to have some relief.

Eating habits play an important role in your legs and skin health. If you feel that your legs are heavy, try avoiding foods that are high in sodium (salt) since that promotes fluid retention and of course complement this with Contravaris so you can delay spider veins and relax your tired legs.

Fifth Step

All natural skin tones are beautiful, but in the case of lighter-skin tones, spider veins are more noticeable. In that case, you can dissimulate them by using tanning products and give color and definition to your legs.

Sixth Step

Exercise!

Exercising helps to tone and tighten our legs. You don’t need to go to a gym to achieve this: walking, going up the stairs, riding a bike or swimming are examples of activities that will help you keep your whole body healthy and in shape, and some of them can be done all year long!
