How to improve the heaviness in legs with aloe?

Leg heaviness is a very common problem that can be due to multiple factors such as circulatory problems or daily routine. It is relatively easy to control with some general measures, but there are products that will help you feel better and relieve it.

Why do you feel pain and heaviness in your legs?

The Spanish Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery explains that 5% of Spaniards have venous insufficiency, the most frequent cause of tired legs. The main risk factors that increase the possibility of suffering from this problem are being over 40 years old, heredity and being female. Other predisposing factors are a sedentary lifestyle, pregnancy, estrogen treatments and the use of tight-fitting clothes.

We talked about habits at the beginning, and many of them have to do with sustained postures, which we maintain for hours at home or at work. Standing is perhaps the most harmful, since gravity does not favor the return of blood in the veins, which tends to accumulate. On the other hand, sitting for a long time also stops this circulation.

The use of girdles or very tight pants and high heeled shoes are also important factors that contribute to the appearance of symptoms such as pain and heaviness in the legs. Taking daily walks, wearing loose-fitting clothes and more appropriate footwear are actions that can help you a lot. There are also natural substances that provide comprehensive care for the legs and help to combat heaviness.

Associated symptoms

Feeling heavy legs is a discomfort that presents itself along with other symptoms, all of which are the result of poor venous circulation. The accumulation of blood causes an increase in pressure in the capillaries and, when chronic, the liquid they contain becomes extravasated and passes into the tissues.

The consequences are swelling of the ankles, tingling, numbness and stiffness. There may also be painful muscle contractures and dryness or loss of elasticity of the skin in the area.

How to control the feeling of heaviness in the legs?

Aloe vera is a plant that is widely cultivated throughout the world, although its origin most likely lies in the Arabian Peninsula. It has very fleshy leaves that serve to store water and contain a mucilaginous substance composed of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols and enzymes, which is why it is used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes.

From its pulp, which is obtained from organic plantations, the aloe vera juice and gel are extracted and cold-pressed to a purity of 99.7 %. Through this procedure, the natural properties of these two products are kept intact, as you will see below:

Oral administration

Pure aloe vera juice used as an ingredient in nutritional supplements has a laxative effect, because it stimulates and regulates intestinal transit. It is also depurative, as it accelerates the elimination of toxins from the body.

Topical use

The use of the gel in cosmetic preparations provides several positive effects. Among the most important are the following:

• Antibacterial and antiseptic, to prevent skin infections.
• Moisturizing, which helps fade wrinkles and provides lubrication to dry and sensitive skin or skin damaged by sun exposure.
• Analgesic and anti-inflammatory, with a soothing effect when there is pain and inflammation.
• Regenerating, because it activates the secretion of collagen in fibroblasts and the formation of new capillaries, necessary functions for the healing of ulcers and burns.
• Antioxidant, thanks to the presence of polyphenols, which contribute to the restoration of the balance in the production of free radicals.
