NATURAL WONDERS

I love to hike and am lucky enough to visit several places on the Pacific Crest Trail here in Southern California. Recently, I was hiking in the Kennedy Meadows area (tall pines and mountain stream – very beautiful) when I met a couple and their black Labrador. The dog's ears were taped and I asked what the problem was. It turned out that when he shook his head hard the veins in his ears broke and began to bleed. They had him on steroids to try and stabilize the vessels and were also physically supporting the ears with the bandages.

We started talking and I mentioned that Horse Chestnut was used in Europe to support the venous system, especially when the veins lacked strength as they do when spider or varicose veins develop. And that Pycnogenol® also supported the capillary system in the skin and body to help prevent bleeding issues. They were very appreciative of the information and said that when they got back down the mountain they would pick up the dietary supplements as they really wanted a natural approach to the problem.

derma e®'s Clear Vein® Crème for spider veins and bruising uses both Horse Chestnut and Pycnogenol®, as well as Grape Skin extract and Witch Hazel. The combination of these ingredients in a pleasant-to-use crème is a very effective treatment in reducing the appearance of spider veins and other skin issues due to venous fragility and inflammation. derma e® does not use Vitamin K, a naturally occurring clotting factor, because we wanted a very safe product that could be used everywhere, even on those broken vessels around the nose or cheek area.

I subscribe to the statement that "God didn't make a problem that he didn't make a cure for" so no matter what your problem, keep looking for the solution. It does exist! SHARE
