Treating varicose veins with garlic and lemon ointment
Therapeutic ingredients
We will use 5 ingredients to make lemon and garlic ointment to treat varicose veins. Each of these elements has health properties that are very beneficial for preventing and treating the spread of varicose veins.
Garlic: Garlic is very effective for treating varicose veins, whether eaten or used topically. This wonderful food helps expand blood vessels and has a strong effect on blood thinning, which improves blood circulation.
Lemon: Lemon also helps blood flow due to its citric acid content. In addition, it is a powerful antioxidant and helps eliminate skin blemishes.
Olive oil: Olive oil is the oil base of this ointment. It also provides the right texture to the ointment so that you can apply it easily. It is also used to soften garlic. In this way, you do not need to put the garlic directly. It also contains monounsaturated fats that greatly nourish the skin and provide it with elasticity.
Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera is the perfect ingredient that can be used as an emulsifier for the oil and makes it easier to use. It also provides recovery and freshness, reduces inflammation, and helps moisturize and protect the skin. You can extract the natural gel from the stem of the plant, or you can buy it. However, the generation must be as pure as possible.
Rosemary Essential Oil: The final ingredient in this ointment is rosemary essential oil. This essential oil is very effective in improving blood circulation and improving oxygenation of the affected area on which the ointment is applied. In addition, it works to improve the smell of the ointment and get rid of the smell of garlic. If you do not have this oil, you can add fresh rosemary leaves when grinding garlic in the oil.
