Varicose veins are not only uncomfortable but also affect confidence and mobility. While modern medicine offers treatments, our grandmothers had simple, natural solutions. Two of the most powerful ingredients for blood vessel health are garlic and onion. Used internally and externally, they can help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and fade the appearance of varicose veins.
🌱 Why Garlic & Onion Work
- 🧄 Garlic → contains allicin, a compound that thins blood naturally, reduces inflammation, and prevents clot formation.
- 🧅 Onion → rich in quercetin, a flavonoid that strengthens veins, improves circulation, and reduces swelling.
Together, they act as a natural varicose vein remedy.
