Lemongrass
Lemongrass promotes blood circulation, making lemongrass oil a great choice for those with varicose veins. Use of this oil can help prevent blood from pooling in the vein and becoming stagnant. Because stagnant blood can lead to larger issues—such as blood clots and venous ulcers—this can be an ideal oil for keeping your venous health stable until you can see a specialist.
Chamomile
Varicose veins can cause heavy, painful legs. Chamomile oil, although, can relieve some of this discomfort. If you work in a profession that involves standing all day, such as a cashier, then you may benefit from picking up some chamomile oil for varicose veins. You can massage it into your legs before bed so that you’re not losing valuable sleep due to painful legs.
Helichrysum
If you have varicose veins, it’s a good idea to find ways to prevent your venous insufficiency from getting worse. Helichrysum oil can help with this, as it has anti-inflammatory properties that also help promote healthy circulation. This essential oil is special because of it’s dual purpose for varicose veins: it helps the current inflamed veins while also helping to prevent new varicose veins from developing.
