Onions: Your Veins’ Best Friend
Red onions are rich in quercetin, a powerful antioxidant that strengthens vein walls and improves circulation. They help reduce swelling and heaviness in the legs while protecting against oxidative damage.
You can prepare an onion compress by mixing chopped red onion with olive oil, applying it to affected areas for 20–30 minutes, and rinsing. Repeat 2–3 times weekly for best results.
Olive Oil: The Soothing Powerhouse
Olive oil isn’t just good for your heart—it also soothes the skin and reduces inflammation when massaged into the legs. Rich in vitamin E and anti-inflammatory compounds, it promotes smoother blood flow and hydrates the skin.
Warm two tablespoons of olive oil (not hot) and gently massage your legs for 5–10 minutes daily to improve circulation naturally.
