Anyone have this on/off? It is kind of scary, you feel this strange pressure going down the arm and you look down and the veins are all protruding- what do you reckon is going on?

I had exactly the same thing except maybe less severe. I would feel constriction/pressure in my upper right arm and wrist and the veins in my right hand would bulge while the ones in my left would stay normal.
This resolved after I started taking Japanese Knotweed I'm pretty sure thats what did it..It could also be a lymph circulation problem in which case exercise and red root help with that. I never found out for sure what was causing it...

Luthien - Thank You for your thoughts - I never thought of the lymph thing! And also, I have not been exercising lately because I have been feeling dog tired ( so tired that I can't even do a chore lately!). I noticed today that when I lift both arms right up over my head - straight up -and few seconds later bring them down, the "bulginess" of the veins disappear - BUT - seconds later they are back at being so protruding. Really strange. I must try the red root - is that good for circulation?

I have bulging veins in my hands and feet.

I suggest buying Hawthorn - it is for the cardiovascular system.

Red Root is good for the lymph system..

If you have or suspect you have bartonella, both of those herbs would be good to take.

Girlie, thank you - are speaking of tinctures? What format is best?
Posted 4/19/2016 2:45 PM (GMT 0)
I am partial to tinctures of both of those herbs. Mostly because I have more control. Sometimes 1 drop can be enough and sometimes it is 60 drops. I can slowly go up with the drops to see what is my herxing point.

Pza- do you know if they are they safe for someone who has a heart murmur and thyroid probs?

The internet shows Hawthorn okay for heart murmurs but I still think you should ask your LLMD.

Our Guru Queen CD knows all about thyroid and I think she takes Red Root. I cannot find anything on Red Root and thyroid. It certainly did help me with my lymph nodes being swollen. It was great for me on that one.

Sounds good Pza- will get me some tinctures tomorrow, then! Can one take 'em at same time -with all other tinctures?
Posted 4/19/2016 3:43 PM (GMT 0)
Remember to only do 1 drop of one herb at a time and slowly move up. You need to see if you get any problems from it. If you add 2 herbs at the same time you will not know which one caused the problem.

Yes it can be added to other tinctures.

I have in one glass about 8 Buhner herb tinctures, then I add about 1/4 cup of water and down them all.

I have bulging veins, but I do not feel particular pressure in them.
And now when I think about this, they appreaed after I had been infected with Lyme!! I was not born with protruding veins.

Blueberry Muffin - I know right? This Lyme is just messing EVERYTHING up for us. BTW. I love and miss blueberry muffins!

hrz- Thank You for sharing and for your thoughts - really appreciate it! I get those bulging veins in temples, too! Freaks me out a bit. I used to take Japanese knotweed and had to stop because it just didn't make me feel well at all. At first I thought it was herxes, but I have since gotten the knotweed tested on me and apparently it is a "no go" meaning my body is just too sensitive for it, almost like an allergy to it. I am so glad it is working for you.
Have a feel good week!

You're welcome

and thinking about it now I would definitely go with Japanese Knotweed, lymph circulation doesn't make much sense regarding vein problems, it would be a blood circulation thing therefore Knotweed. Best of luck to you!
