Varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic concern—they can cause discomfort, swelling, and fatigue in the legs. Many people seek relief without resorting to surgery or pharmaceuticals. Thankfully, nature offers gentle yet effective ways to support vein health and ease symptoms. This article will guide you through an easy-to-make, natural remedy using ingredients with anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting properties.

Ingredients
½ cup organic coconut oil (carrier and skin moisturizer)
¼ cup witch hazel (anti-inflammatory and astringent)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (improves circulation)
10 drops cypress essential oil (reduces swelling and supports circulation)
5 drops lavender essential oil (soothes skin and promotes relaxation)
5 drops horse chestnut extract (optional but beneficial for vein strength)
Directions
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the coconut oil.
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the witch hazel and apple cider vinegar.
Add the essential oils and horse chestnut extract, if using.
Mix thoroughly and let the mixture cool slightly.
Transfer to a clean glass jar or airtight container.
Apply a small amount to affected areas twice daily, massaging gently in upward strokes to encourage blood flow.
Serving and Storage Tips
Store the mixture in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
For a cooling effect, refrigerate before use—especially helpful for tired legs.
Use within 3 months for optimal potency.
Always test a small amount on your skin to ensure no sensitivity or allergic reaction.
