Hi Dr Lando,

I am having a heck of a time coming up with decent action plans towards spider and varicose veins.

Currently I approach it as a spleen qi deficiency: Walking, excluding sugar/xenoestogens , gui pi, Callisonia is root, topical geranium oil and red light therapy, compression socks, massage and “legs up the wall”. And of course, I am all about getting the insulin resistance reversed asap, which is ever my focus.

However, I find that while symptoms of pain and engorgement improved, the ones already present never seem to adequately diminish or vanish. What am I missing? Is this a cell salt issue perhaps? It Thanks for your help, and I am open to anyone else’s experiences here as well.

Actually I use cypress oil more often than geranium.

Hi Penny

I understand that your focus is on venous blood return, but the entire circulatory system needs to be addressed. Very often the lymphatics need support in these situations, and it can only help if not key. My favorite lymph tonic is Aesculus Hippocastanam and UNDA brand from Belgium is a great gemmo-tx preparation (young plant stem cells). You’ll find it available from a number of sources online. 1/2 tsp 2- 3 Xs/day for 2-3 months will usually work very well.

Great to know!

Ah thank you so much, I am pretty excited I will get some asap. ? I have definitely been thinking “what is going on with the deeper vessels, if this is what is apparent superficially” and obviously the walking is not enough to get the lymph pumping sufficiently.

Again thank you Doc, there is always so much learning to be had, I suspect it never ends with true healing. ♾️

Hi Penny, just thought i would share, i have had one varicose vein on my left leg for quite a while and last year i finally started to bubble the water and inhale the brown’s gas that dr lando discussed with George wiseman on alfacasts yesterday i happened to check for that vein and its almost gone. its very slight on the skin. I am also taking the tissue salts as discussed on AV the 12-1 and the ones for my native sign etc. I am also doing skin brushing after shower as recommended by my naturopath to keep my circulation going. I spend too much time on the computer. In the past I have also taken what dr Lando recommended, that was quite a few years ago from my Homeopath and tcm doctor. great products from unda. I am sure you will get better.

Thanks for starting this discussion. I (Todd) have two sizeable bumps on my upper left calf. Hasn’t been an issue, but last night I noticed they are getting red. We heard that’s a sign that they might clot. … I have the UNDA product, and was taking that for three months, but stopped a couple months ago. I have some cell salts and isopathics available to me, too. … The last two days I’ve been hiking in the steep terrain of a maple forest tapping them for sap/syrup. I’d like to keep that up if I can. Thanks for any suggestions. Much appreciated!
