If medicinal plants are effective treatments against varicose veins, it is mainly because they improve blood circulation. However, a simple massage with olive oil stimulates blood circulation and reduces inflammation as well as the sensation of pain.
How to do ?
Mix equal parts olive oil and vitamin E oil. Heat slightly, then massage the varicose veins with this hot oil for several minutes. Repeat this treatment twice a day for 1 to 2 months.
If you donβt have vitamin E oil, you can also mix 4 drops of cypress essential oil in 2 teaspoons of warm olive oil.
Massage this mixture onto the affected area.

Next, take cotton and apply the mixture on the affected area. Repeat several times a day daily over several weeks. For greater effectiveness, do not hesitate to add 1 drop of rose essential oil and 1 drop of marigold macerate (Calendula officinalis) to the mixture when it has cooled.
