Medicinal Herbs
As a rule, folk remedies for the treatment of leg varicose involve the use of drugs of natural origin. Among them:
- golden mustache ;
- horse chestnut;

To do this, two leaves of the plant are ground, poured with 1.5 glasses of water, heated for a couple of 15 minutes. The product must be filtered and cooled. Then it is moistened with gauze and applied to the foot for 10 minutes.
An extremely authoritative means that helps with varicose veins is horse chestnut - it is on its basis that most of the pharmaceutical preparations are prepared. Independently, you can make a tincture for internal and external use. To do this, take 10 g of crushed chestnut fruit, previously peeled, and pour them 100 grams of vodka. In a tightly closed bottle, the agent is insisted in a darkened room for 3 weeks, periodically shaking the container. The drug is taken at 30 drops per day. In parallel with the tincture make compresses (10 minutes each).

Nettles with varicose veins
