In the article, we will consider the instructions and contraindications of Venus.
Varicose veins are an expansion of the veins, accompanied by a decrease in the elasticity of the walls of these vessels, their fragility, thinning and the formation of nodes. In the absence of treatment, the development of capillary nets is first observed, the veins begin to thicken, their lumen narrows. Such pathological changes lead to a violation of the functions of the vascular valves and circulatory system.
At the moment, varicose veins is a very common pathology. According to statistics, every 4th person has this disease. Its occurrence depends on heredity, people's lifestyle and individual characteristics.

Component Properties
The substance hesperidin is a plant flavonoid that is found in the citrus peel. It helps to strengthen the walls of blood vessels and normalize their permeability, improve the condition of capillaries, increase blood flow in the coronary vessels, lower blood pressure and prevent the development of bleeding. In addition, hesperidin is able to relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels, as well as the bile ducts. It helps in the treatment of atherosclerosis, mycoses, a variety of ulcers, allergic reactions and tumors. It contributes to a significant reduction in allergic and asthmatic symptoms, has anticarcinogenic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In combination with diosmin, hesperidin has venotonic and angioprotective effects, reduces capillary permeability and venous extensibility, increasing their tone. The combined effect of these active components leads to a decrease in venous stasis and normalization of the processes of lymphatic drainage and microcirculation.
Diosmin is a substance from the group of bioflavonoids. It has anti-inflammatory effects, improves lymphatic drainage (reduces lymphatic pressure, increases the frequency of contraction and tone of lymphatic capillaries, increases their functional density). In addition, diosmin reduces the migration of leukocytes into paravenous tissues and their adhesion to the walls of venous vessels, stabilizes the microcirculation processes (reduces capillary permeability, enhances their resistance). Diosmin has a phlebotonizing effect (eliminates venous congestion, prevents excessive extensibility of the vascular walls), increases oxygen diffusion and perfusion in skin tissues. This substance also enhances the vasoconstrictor effect of adrenaline / norepinephrine, blocking the processes of free radical production, the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane.
