Hi Tina,
There are two conditions your friend needs to look into. First I suggest she get tested for blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This is a common occurrence after pregnancy. By itself a clot is not dangerous, but if it breaks loose and travels to the lungs it can be. Second, she may just have varicose vein. Again, not at all uncommon after pregnancy. I am a yoga teacher and do not know of any viable treatments, but I would suggest something such as legs up the wall or other poses that take the legs higher than the heart for the purpose of relieving any pain or swelling. Remember that veins take blood to the heart so this helps relieve symptoms and reverse the effects of gravity.
If you’d like more information about DVT or varicose veins, you can visit the Vascular Disease Web site at vdf dot org (www dot vdf dot org). I am the editor of their newsletter and Web site so I know some things about vascular disease, but I would really encourage her to find out about clots first. Good luck!
Namaste-
Christa
thanks Christa for the information
