Cotton on the side of well-being

Getting rid of heavy clothing is the first thing we naturally do, and so we also get rid of elastic compression stockings. And if we think about the legs, for people who suffer from blood circulation problems, the arrival of summer, and therefore heat, represents a real nightmare. Poor circulation mainly affects the legs and ankles because they suffer more from the increase in temperature, swelling and causing pain. Heat accentuates vasodilation, that is, it makes the veins and capillaries in the legs swell and slows their pumping action even more, because the pressure needed to push blood upward is not sufficient.

When heat considerably worsens the extent of leg disorders, it is even more important to wear compression stockings and tights. It may seem unsuitable, perhaps paradoxical, but summer is precisely the period in which their use should be intensified.
