Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic concern—they can cause discomfort, swelling, and even pain in the legs. While medical procedures exist, nature offers powerful remedies that can support vein health and improve circulation. One such traditional remedy combines onion, garlic, and olive oil—three ingredients with potent anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting properties.
Onion – Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds like quercetin, onions help strengthen blood vessels and reduce swelling.
Garlic – Known for its ability to improve blood flow, garlic also helps dissolve blood clots and reduces inflammation in veins.
Olive Oil – Packed with healthy fats and vitamin E, olive oil nourishes the skin, supports circulation, and helps the active compounds from garlic and onion penetrate more effectively.
How to Prepare the Remedy
Ingredients:
1 medium red onion
5–6 garlic cloves
½ cup (125 ml) extra virgin olive oil
Steps:
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
Place them in a glass jar.
Pour the olive oil over them until fully covered.
Seal the jar and let it infuse for 12–24 hours in a cool, dark place.
Strain the oil before use.
