Varicose and spider veins
Varicose veins are a condition that can be painful both mentally and physically. Those enlarged, dark blue or purple twisted veins on your legs can turn into large, bulging veins if not taken care of.
Did you know that varicose veins appear between the ages of 30 and 70 and affect 1 in 2 people over the age of 50? They tend to get progressively worse if nothing is done to relieve them.
Spider veins are blue or gray thread-like streaks that appear closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins, but they have the same causes. They may have a cobweb-like appearance or resemble tree branches. Both varicose and spider veins can cause burning, pain, tiredness, and discomfort.
If you’re afraid of the consequences to your health, take heart: Calendula’s powerful healing therapy remains the top choice for many varicose vein sufferers who prefer natural alternatives to invasive surgical procedures.
Calendula as an alternative therapy
Marigold (in its extract form) is made from a species of calendula flower called Pot Marigold. Its Latin name is Calendula Officinalis and its flower petals are used as a powerful healing agent for a variety of ailments. It can heal external lacerations, abrasions and skin blemishes, rashes, wounds, chapped lips, diaper rash, gum and tooth infections, hemorrhoids, sore throats and tonsillitis.
To treat varicose veins, calendula is added to a cream or lotion and applied directly to the affected areas. Calendula creams can reduce the inflammation associated with varicose veins and can regenerate weak and damaged veins and spider veins.
Calendula is a powerful circulation enhancer. Prevents the tendency of the legs and ankles to swell due to pressure or effort. There is no need to suffer unnecessarily with bulging, discolored varicose veins, spider veins, or tired legs. Natural alternatives are available at an affordable price and are popular and easy to use.
Specially formulated creams containing calendula help varicose and spider veins fade and flatten and legs look smoother. If you have severely ulcerated varicose veins, you can make a poultice with this calendula cream by placing a tablespoon of the cream on a bandage and leaving it on the vein overnight to heal. In a short time you will notice the healing effect and pain relief.
Use a high-quality cream or lotion that contains a high concentration of calendula in the form of a vegetable oil extract, ideally one made with safe, all-natural ingredients. Invisi-vein is an all-natural varicose vein cream made by Venus Naturals that contains healing calendula extract as well as soothing essential oils that heal and diminish the appearance of varicose veins and their discoloration. Spider veins also fade and are less painful due to Invisi-vein’s high anti-inflammatory and cell-regenerating properties.
