Why these ingredients work
Garlic: It has anti-inflammatory and vasodilating properties that improve blood circulation and reduce swelling. It also strengthens vein walls and helps prevent blood clots.
Cloves: Rich in eugenol, a compound with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. They help ease pain, boost circulation, and provide a refreshing sensation for tired legs.
Carrier oil (olive or coconut): Acts as a nourishing base, moisturizes the skin, and helps the active compounds in garlic and cloves absorb better.
Extra tips
Elevate your legs for 15 minutes at the end of the day to improve blood flow back to the heart.
Avoid sitting or standing still for long periods; movement is key to preventing varicose veins from worsening.
Do light exercise such as walking or biking to stimulate circulation.
Take care of your diet: include foods rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber.
Use compression stockings if discomfort is frequent or if you spend many hours on your feet.
