Can anything be done for spider veins that does not involve some sort of expensive surgery?

Do you already have them, or are you trying to prevent them? If you are trying to prevent them the best way of doing it getting plenty of exercise, having a healthy diet, eating high fiber foods, drinking lots of water(wich I know you already do), and sleeping with your feet elevated 6-12 inches above the heart. And of course adding healthy supplements to your diet. Good circulation and appropiate body weigth are extremly important.
 
If you already have them, unfortunately there really is no natural way for the body to heal them. You either do the injections, or the laser treatment. But if in your search you happen to find some new developement, please let me know. I don't have any, but my mom did. I guess after giving birth to 4 children is hard not to get them. However I hear that if she had them, my chances of getting them are higher. And I remember when she had them they were the big ugly ones. She got them treated with injections which made them disapear forever. However, I remember her being in so much pain the day she would get the injections, that she literaly had to spend the whole day in bed.
 
However this was about 20 years ago. I understand that the precedure now is very fast (about 30 minutes) virtually painless. I'm hoping I don't get them, and doing everything in my power to avoid getting them. However if once I have children I end up with them, I would deft. want to know if they have come up with some natural alternative, since I hate! needles with a passion. No matter the size.
 
Well, if you come across something let me know.
