blood clots (not DVT) question

Maybe homeopathics? I know a homeopath who does phone consults, whether in us or internationally. She's very experienced (30+ years). See http://www.homeopathicare.org

Also try EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). Even though the issue may not be directly emotional EFT works superbly on physical ailments as well. Takes a little bit of reading (they have a downloadable manual) to learn it, and it seems odd to those not used to it. However more and more docs, nurses, and laypeople use it and its even getting research attention. It combines acupressure points, NLP, and spoken suggestions. see www.emofree.com. She would do the tapping with suggestion phrases like, "even though I have these small blood clots..." or if there are emotional issues present, "even though these blood clots scare me..." etc.

HTH!

I just attended a birth of a client who has this problem, severely. It arises with each pregnancy and each time is worse than the previous. She says she knows she is pregnant because the varicose veins swell and start to get painful. Honestly, she just puts up with them. Her doc ultrasounds them to make sure they are remaining superficial and other than elevating her legs she deals with it.

It was amazing to me, after the birth. Literally, within 15 minutes the swelling and most of the tiny veins had gone back to normal. By the next day, her leg was looking regular size, but bruised. Then by a week later, it was back to normal sans a few varicose veins that she always has.

Definitely, if your friends works, tell her not to be at a desk all day. That will make them so much worse and, walking is actually good for the veins, even if a little slow and painful. I am sure that there is probably an essential oil she could use, maybe you could google that.
