Home Remedy Recipes
Varicose Veins
Instructions
Foods to Eat
- Large quantities of dark red berries, such as cherries, blackberries, black currants, and grapes - they contain plant compounds that restore the veins and capillaries.
- Garlic, onions, cayenne pepper, and bromelain (an enzyme found in fresh pineapple and also available in supplement form) which help to break down fibrin and keep the blood thinned and moving.
Supplements
- 1,000 to 3,000 mg of vitamin C and at least 1,000 mg of bioflavonoids daily.
Aromatherapy
- Make an essential oil blend of 5 drops of cypress, 2 drops of lemon, 3 drops of yarrow, 3 drops of frankincense and 2 drops of rosemary.
- Place fifteen drops of the essential oil blend into one ounce of calendula or St. Johns wort oil.
- Massage this combination gently onto varicose veins two to three times a day.
