I just woke up with a purple to blue vein under my armpit. I exercise and have been experiencing a bit of leg pain, probably from sitting for hours working on my computer. Is this something dangerous? How can I naturally cure it?

The blue or purple color may indicate that the vein is not getting enough oxygen, which could be a sign of poor circulation. To naturally help improve circulation and alleviate the symptoms, you can try elevating your legs when sitting for long periods, staying hydrated, and incorporating regular exercise into your routine. Additionally, foods rich in antioxidants like berries, leafy greens, and nuts can also support vascular health. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been taking Eliquis for a little over a month now, and my period started three days ago. I'm having a lot of accidents. At what point should I reach out to my vascular doctor? I can't walk yet because of the surgery, and I'm 34 with a blood clot that blocked blood flow to my leg for over three weeks. They're saying I might need an amputation soon. Can you help me understand what's normal and when I should be concerned?

I'm really concerned about something and need some advice. A few months ago, after a hospital stay, the nurse removed the drip syringe from my hand, and they said the vein swelling would disappear in a few days. But it's been over 4 months now, and my vein is still swollen. Sometimes it hurts, and my hand often feels like it's going numb. Could you suggest what I should do next and which type of specialist I should see?

Consuming water stored overnight in a copper vessel is a traditional Ayurvedic practice believed to have health benefits. Copper has antimicrobial properties, which can help purify water. You can continue this practice 365 days a year, including during the rainy season. However, ensure the copper vessel is clean and dry before filling it with water. Also, change the water daily to avoid bacterial growth. Regularly polish the copper vessel to maintain its antimicrobial properties.
