This herbal paste is a traditional, natural preparation designed to soothe discomfort from varicose veins and support circulation in the legs. Made from fresh green leaves and aromatic herbs, the paste is applied topically to affected areas. Its cooling, anti-inflammatory properties help reduce swelling, ease heaviness, and promote relaxation.
Varicose veins occur when blood pools in the veins, causing them to enlarge and become visible under the skin. While medical treatments exist, natural remedies like herbal pastes have long been used to complement care. This recipe focuses on harnessing the power of plant compounds to provide gentle relief and encourage healthier blood flow.
