Millions of women are bothered by Thread Veins -
those small yet unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple
veins that most commonly appear on the cheeks, thighs,
calves and ankles and the backs of knees. In fact, it's
estimated that at least half of the adult female population
is plagued with this common cosmetic problem - forcing
them to hide their legs behind trousers in the summer
or under the duvet when laying around in the bedroom.
Vitamin K is an essential blood clotting factor. Without
vitamin K in our bloodstreams, body injuries would never
heal. We get all our vitamin K from foodstuffs such
as spinach and tomatoes. When tiny blood vessels near
the surface of the skin get damaged - a small tear can
develop which leaks blood.
The blood runs down the outside of the vessels rather
like a drop of water running down the side of a pencil.
That's how you can see the "Thread Vein". Vitamin K
can be applied topically to help the torn vessel heal
fast. The body then dissolves the remaining leaked blood
naturally - fading the appearance of Thread Veins and
bruises which result from muscle fibre tears. |
