Yet another recipe: Varicose vein wash

[Guest guest]

Here's yet another recipe: varicose vein wash

Because I'm old, you will see many recipes for us old people, but the good thing

about this recipe is it is great for hemorrhoids too. This one is fairly

straightforward and easy to make.

Varicose veins are caused by a weakness, or increased pressure, in the veins.

Unfortunately, it causes the supporting walls of the veins to bulge out,

resulting in distended veins and pooling of the blood.

Some simple things that will help with varicose veins are to not wear tight

clothes around the waist and legs. Try to maintain regular bowel movements to

help ease hemorrhoids.

2 cups Witch hazel

1/4 cup yarrow; if fresh double

1/4 cup calendula; if fresh double

1/4 cup black walnut; if fresh double

1/4 cup marigold; if fresh double

1/4 cup myrrh
