Can Vinegar Be Used To Treat Venous Stasis Ulcers?
Question: Can vinegar be used to treat venous stasis ulcers?
Brief Answer:
No, its not a good idea.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
No, it can not be used to treat venous ulcers. It wont help at all.
Venous insufficiency with ulcers is a very hard to treat condition. The main problems are veins which do not deliver blood to the heart. We call it veins insufficiency. The blood stays in such veins for a long time causing swelling, tissues dehydration, and in advanced stage ulcers.
The best and most effective treatment of such ulcers is surgical removal of affected veins. I suggest you to consider such solution.
Some improvement can be also see after 3 months usage of medicine called Sulodexidum.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
