Perhaps even more concerning is the fact that an incredible eighty-two percent of women have experienced leg-related health problems including tired and achy legs, spider veins, swelling in ankles, and restless legs
Between running from commitment to commitment, and sitting at our computers for hours on end, our legs are frequently at risk of limited blood flow, so it’s hardly surprising that they’re giving women grief.
Thankfully, there are a few ways we can give our circulation the boost it needs, and put an end to swelling, aching, and discomfort which won’t require pounding the pavement, taking time out of your busy schedule, or parting with much of your hard earned cash….
The Revitive LV
This clever contraption helps revive and re-energise your legs at home. Just thirty minutes a day, while you sit at your desk or watch TV, may help give your feet and legs the circulation boost they need to help improve shape and definition, maintain healthy, active legs, and invigorate your worn-out limbs.
Using Electrical Muscle Stimulation, the Revitive LV activates muscles in your feet and lower legs, which counteracts stasis and pumps blood back up to the heart. This relieves aching, swelling and alleviates discomfort in your legs. It improves circulation, and activates muscles in the legs, ankles and feet, giving your legs a much-needed boost that your favourite pair of heels just can’t offer.

The Herbal Circulation Boosters
Naturopath Anthia Koullouros suggests adding the following herbs to your diet for a much-needed circulation boost:
• Add some tantalising, warming spices to your cooking such as cayenne, chilli, garlic and ginger.
• Gingko tincture – indicated for poor peripheral circulation to the fingers, toes and the head area, making this an excellent remedy for poor memory, concentration, tinnitus and vertigo.
• Bilberry tincture – tastes deliciously sweet. Also indicated for retinal blood flow disorders, varicose and spider veins.
• Prickly ash tincture – this warming herb is also indicated for muscular cramps and spasms. Avoid in pregnancy.
Note: Avoid taking gingko and bilberry if you are taking warfarin and other antiplatelet medication such as aspirin. Avoid when pregnant.
