Legs on the go: remedies to promote venous circulation
Let's get the blood circulating by plane, train, and car
July, August, and September are the months dedicated to holidays and long journeys. During travel, the longer you remain still, the more likely blood clots are to form in the leg veins, causing swelling and pain. Furthermore, the heat contributes to overloading our circulatory system, making fluid drainage more difficult.
Leg health is fundamental for everyone, both men and women. Taking care of them is important not only for those who already suffer from venous insufficiency, but also for people considered "healthy".
Prof. Francesco Setacci
"Venous circulation works at low pressure and requires constant movement. Long journeys force periods of immobility that can hide minor issues. Taking a therapy based on specific supplements and topical creams before departure can ensure adequate protection."

During the journey, using knee-high socks or graduated compression stockings prevents our circulation from suffering. Even small movements and exercises can significantly promote venous return.
