AB - Objective: The human venous system contains approximately 65% of the body's total blood volume and is strongly influenced by gravity. In particular, the veins of the lower extremities are exposed to relatively high hydrostatic pressure. Circulatory impairment in the lower-extremity veins may develop due to factors such as prolonged standing or squatting, physical inactivity, aging, and impaired venous valve function, which may lead to various symptoms of discomfort and reduced quality of life. Symptoms associated with impaired venous circulation in the lower extremities can generally be alleviated through lifestyle modification and exercise. However, for chronic symptoms, improving physiological function and supporting circulatory and metabolic processes may help alleviate them.
Case Report: This case involved a Korean woman in her 70s who experienced multiple symptoms associated with impaired venous circulation in the lower extremities. Owing to the nature of her occupation, she spent prolonged periods in a squatting position and consequently reported lower-extremity edema, pain, numbness, and muscle cramps. Accordingly, Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) comprising Panax notoginseng extract, Ginkgo biloba extract, magnesium, and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) was prescribed. Following the intervention, her symptoms gradually improved, with most symptoms subsiding after approximately 5 months of treatment.
Conclusion: As this report involved a single patient, the applicability of the same OCNT regimen to other individuals with lower-extremity venous circulatory disorders is limited. Nevertheless, this case suggests that an appropriate OCNT regimen may serve as a complementary approach for improving venous circulation in the lower extremities and enhancing quality of life.
