Habit / practice
How it works
Cold reduces local blood flow and inflammatory mediator activity, temporarily constricting swollen tissue and numbing nerve endings.
Wrap ice in a cloth — do not apply directly to skin. Limit sessions to 15–20 minutes. Provides symptom relief only; does not treat the underlying venous problem.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
