The circulatory system is made up of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic system, and is how blood and lymphatic fluid are transported around the body, supplying nutrients and filtering the blood. Essential oils such as Ginseng can be used for a lymphatic massage to improve circulation; cypress, chamomile and myrtle oils improves circulation, ease inflammation and reduce varicose veins, and frankincense helps constrict distended veins.

Ginger oil is also excellent for reducing inflammation and strengthening the joints, and peppermint is fantastic for muscular pain relief. These oils are particularly effective when infused in St John’s Wort oil, and applied to the area.
