Natural Help for Varicose Veins

Do you have varicose veins? One in every two women and one in every four men past the age of 40 does. Adding exercise, such as swimming or walking, to your daily habits is one of the best lifestyle tweaks you can make to help remedy unsightly veins. But here’s a way to really zero in on those veins and “get your legs back”…To stimulate circulation and help reduce the inflammation that brings about varicose veins, gently massage some rosemary oil (about a teaspoon or two) into the affected area. Once every evening should produce results within a few weeks. You can find rosemary oil at health-food stores and online. Note: Most rosemary oil is sold as an “ essential” oil or “ extract,” which is too strong to use directly on your skin. Be sure to dilute with an equal amount of “ carrier” oil, such as almond or grapeseed oil.
