I've suffered with poor circulation of the legs for a few years now. Standing for short periods of time left my legs feeling tired and achy. My legs had a heavy feeling when walking, too. Worse, any pressure applied to my ankle area resulted in pain. My doctor put his hands around them to see if I was retaining fluid and I could have cried from the pain. After doing research online, I started taking 900 mgs of horse chestnut and 350 mgs of pycnogenol each day. It's been only four weeks, but the difference has been amazing. My legs feel lighter, no more pain near the ankles, no more fatigue when standing for long periods. There have been medical studies on this, which is why I decided to try it myself. I highly recommend taking these supplements at these doses each day for improved circulation of the legs.

Try taking a calcium supplement with it, or eat a cup of plain yogurt. When I add the yogurt my legs and feet feel nice and warm, which they NEVER otherwise do.

My Dad (Aged 61yrs old)has gone thru By pass surgery for his heart & since after that surgery he is feeling his right leg to be very heavy day by day & not able to move his leg & go out somewhere or else stand properly for a long time. Where as his left leg from which they have taken a vein for the drafting purpose during the surgery feels very relaxed. We have many options to cure it ie both Natural as well as tried other medicines as suggested by the Dr. Bt still he couldn't get any postive results from any of these. So I have came across thru this post werein I can find few postive responses however m not sure about thier exact problem. So could you please Suggest me & brief me more about this therapy. I'l be glad if I can get a positive revert from your end because we can't see our Dad getting depressed due to this reason as a result of which the entire family becomes Sad as he is most Important person in our lives & we LOVE HIM ALOT...SO PLLLZZZZZZ HELP.
