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.
