Leg ulcers or leg sores occur when poor circulation in the legs restricts the blood flow as this allows the skin tissue of the leg to begin to deteriorate. Once the skin has deteriorated, ulcers are the open sores that begin to develop on these specific areas of the skin. This type of broken skin can take a very long time to heal, which is why it can be difficult to heal leg ulcers once you have one. Anyone who is more prone to poor circulation is more likely to experience leg ulcers than someone else. People who suffer from thrombophlebitis or varicose veins usually develop leg ulcers.
Venous leg ulcer is a related condition where the veins within the leg no longer function as they are meant to. The blood begins to pool in the veins, which then results in inflammation of the overlying skin, resulting in the same deterioration. This causes leg ulcers in poor circulation cases. These types of ulcers are most common on the lower third of the leg. Another common form of leg ulcers is Arterial ulcers. This type of leg ulcer occurs when the arteries within the leg do not deliver the necessary amounts of blood to the leg. These types of ulcers are most common around boney areas of the leg such as the ankles or feet.
Lastly, diabetic ulcers are very common and are the results of insufficient blood supply to the surface of the skin. These types of leg ulcers generally occur around the feet area as well. Any type of leg ulcer you are suffering from can be very painful and slow to heal without the help of the natural remedies and healing alternatives we have listed here for you below.
- Coenzyme Q10 taken 60 mg daily increases the resistance to the leg ulcer, which therefore increases the oxygen to the skin. This is a necessary element of the healing process.
- Dimethyglycine should always be taken as directed. This natural supplement enhances the oxygen moving through your leg to improve the blood flow.
- Garlic is a natural antibiotic, which aids in the healing process and has the ability to improve circulation in your leg when taken 2 capsules, 3 times daily.
- Grape Seed Extract is a powerful antioxidant that prohibits the free radicals in your body that can inhibit the healing process.
- Vitamin C with bioflavonoids has three powerful features: it aids in the healing process, promotes healing circulation in the legs and keeps infection at bay. You can take Vitamin C in dosages of 5,000-10,000 mg divided throughout the day for maximum effects.
- Free-From Amino Acids promotes healing and tissue repair and should be taken as directed only on an empty stomach.
- Zinc aids in the healing of ulcers and boosts your immune function to help your body combat these toxins at a faster rate.
