What I Love About This Varicose Veins Home Remedy
Hey, Katie here, I am an aromatherapist, and I created and regularly use this recipe! Having had two babies and knowing that varicose veins run in my family, I have a high likelihood of having varicose veins.
I can’t see any on the surface of my skin, but I would not be surprised if I’ve already developed some. I’m using this recipe to help support the health of my veins and reduce the likelihood that my legs get creative with vein art.
What’s in the Recipe
This recipe is made with entirely toxin-free ingredients. Here’s the breakdown.
Sugar
It wouldn’t be a sugar scrub without sugar! Sugar is a gentle exfoliator, perfect to use on the body. It helps to rub away dead skin to reveal beautiful skin underneath.
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Fractionated Coconut oil will help moisturize your legs and dilute the essential oil. If you don’t have this on hand you can replace it with another carrier oil. Some other favorites in sugar scrubs are almond oil and avocado oil.
Veins Essential Oil Blend
This blend uses Cypress, Juniper Berry, and Lemon Essential Oils for varicose veins and to support your circulation. It also smells soooo good!
