Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic concern—they can cause discomfort, swelling, and even pain in the legs. While medical procedures exist, nature offers powerful remedies that can support vein health and improve circulation. One such traditional remedy combines onion, garlic, and olive oil—three ingredients with potent anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting properties.

Onion – Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds like quercetin, onions help strengthen blood vessels and reduce swelling.
Garlic – Known for its ability to improve blood flow, garlic also helps dissolve blood clots and reduces inflammation in veins.
Olive Oil – Packed with healthy fats and vitamin E, olive oil nourishes the skin, supports circulation, and helps the active compounds from garlic and onion penetrate more effectively.

How to Prepare the Remedy
Ingredients:
1 medium red onion
5–6 garlic cloves
½ cup (125 ml) extra virgin olive oil

Steps:
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
Place them in a glass jar.
Pour the olive oil over them until fully covered.
Seal the jar and let it infuse for 12–24 hours in a cool, dark place.
Strain the oil before use.

How to Use It for Varicose Veins
Apply the infused oil directly to the affected area.
Massage gently in upward motions for 10–15 minutes.
Repeat daily, preferably at night, for several weeks.

Important Notes
This remedy supports circulation but is not a cure for advanced varicose veins—consult your doctor for severe cases.
Always do a patch test before applying to check for skin sensitivity.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, hydration, and a balanced diet for best results.

Onion, garlic, and olive oil form a simple yet effective natural blend that boosts blood flow, reduces inflammation, and supports vein health. With regular use, this home remedy can help ease discomfort and improve the appearance of varicose veins naturally.
