Varicose veins are a common problem, affecting an estimated 25% of the population. While there are many treatments available, including surgery and compression stockings, some people prefer to try natural remedies first. In this blog, I will share 12 blog posts and articles discussing the benefits of using herbs to treat varicose veins and what those herbs are.
What are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and twisted. They can be painful and unattractive. While varicose veins used to be treated with surgery, there are now a number of non-surgical treatment options available. One popular option is herbal support. Herbs can help to improve the function of the veins, reduce swelling and pain, and promote healing.

My Natural Homemade Varicose Vein Cream
I make and sell a natural varicose vein cream that has helped a number of my customers over the years and it is my number one seller.
I grow, forage and wildcraft the yarrow and calendula that I use. The other ingredients I get from reputable sources, such as Mountain Rose Herbs.
If you are ready to combat your varicose veins, you can purchase it HERE.
Here is what one of my customers had to say:
I have to say my expectations were low when I purchased this, because I suffer from spider veins (not varicose veins) and based on my research, the only remedy was sclerotherapy, a costly procedure. I bought 2 small jars (at a great price btw) with nothing to lose. The first couple of weeks, I did not think it was working. Some days the spider veins looked a little faded, other days, unchanged. About 3-4 weeks into applying the cream 2x a day, my spider veins are nearly INVISIBLE!!! I’m genuinely mind blown. I feel so great knowing I won’t be self conscious wearing short shorts and exposing my spider vein-free thunder thighs to the world. About to purchase some more because I don’t wanna run out of this stuff. A 2 oz jar lasted me 4-5 weeks of 2x day application. If you have spider veins, definitely give this a try!
