Essential Oil Treatments for Varicose Veins

Spider veins as commonly known, varicose veins occur once the blood veins or vessels are pressured resulting in veins bulging and blood being pooled. They become visible and unsightly usually after the weakening of the vein and its improper functioning. Note that veins are a one way type of valves that don’t let blood flow backwards. As they become weak or start failing blood starts collecting within the vein and doesn’t go towards the heart.

From the heart the legs are the farthest. Together with gravity and failing veins upward flow of blood becomes labored. This is usually brought about by hormone imbalance, inactivity, long periods standing, pregnancy and obesity. Essential oils can be included as natural varicose veins treatment due to their ability to boost support and circulation system such as: Cypress and Lemon, Lime, Helichrysum, Geranium and Clary Sage once rubbed on the affected area twice daily.
