Calendula Varicose Vein Spray

Calendula Varicose Vein Spray

Fill a mason jar with ½ dried calendula flowers and

½dried yarrow.

Cover with witch hazel and let sit for three weeks shaking daily.

After three weeks, strain and add 10–30 drops of lavender essential oil per

quart of spray.

Pour the solution into a spray bottle and a label. This can be sprayed on

varicose veins as often as desired.

How does it work?

The calendula helps to strengthen the capillary and

vein walls (which, by definition, are weak in varicose veins.) Its anti-

inflammatory properties are also useful here.

The yarrow helps to promote the circulation of blood, dispersing any blood

stagnation.

The lavender essential oil adds healing and anti-inflammatory properties that

can help with itching associated with varicose veins.

The witch hazel is a standard remedy for varicose veins because of its

astringent properties that help to shrink the enlarged tissues.
