The hammock: A solution for venous insufficiency and varicose veins
Mexican scientific studies (June 1995, the IMSS program in Campeche, Mexico) have highlighted the use of the hammock in the face of venous insufficiency and varicose veins. One of the frequent recommendations is to elevate the legs. Thanks to the body position it offers, the hammock acts as a good solution by promoting venous return, thus relieving the condition of those affected. Some people discover immediate soothing benefits.
The first hammocks were made from the bark of the Hamack tree
One of the origins of the word "hammock" comes from this tree with which the natives used the bark to make the first hammocks. More abundant in Mexico and more comfortable to the touch, the raw material was later replaced by sisal (a species of agave comparable to Aloe Vera). Today, the use of cotton and nylon accounts for more than 80% of Mexican hammocks. This is relatively new, having been used for only 50 to 60 years.
