An infusion of Horse Chestnut, Butchers Broom, Witch Hazel and Gota Kola in coconut oil blended with cocoa butter and shea butter.

Horse chestnut is an excellent remedy that not only strengthens the blood vessels, but is an effective astringent as well. The shiny brown fruits of this beautiful ornamental shade tree have a long history of use in the treatment of varicose veins. Current research shows some animal, clinical, and in vitro evidence of benefit for circulatory problems. Horse chestnut reduces capillary fragility and swelling through regulation of capillary permeability, and helps strengthen and repair blood vessels that have lost their elasticity. Because it is a blood vessel tonic, it is also used to reduce bruises (which are broken blood vessels) wherever they occur in the body.

Butcher’s broom has historical use in the treatment of varicose veins, but research has also shown that it may be of benefit in topical application for poor circulation symptoms such as blood pooling in the legs, swelling, and constricted blood vessels. Its active constituents are two saponins, neoruscogenin and ruscogenins. They are anti-inflammatory and vasoconstricting. In a double-blind clinical trial, butchers broom increased the tone of venous walls, showing a decrease in venous capacity and blood pooling in the lower legs. Another double-blind crossover study found significant decrease in swelling and cramps. Butcher’s broom improves the tone of the veins and encourages blood flow.

Witch hazel is used externally on sores, bruises and swelling. The astringent tannins in witch hazel tighten and soothe aching varicose veins and reduce inflammation in cases of phlebitis (an inflammation of a vein). Witch hazel also contains procyanadins, resin and flavonoids, all of which add to its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.

Gotu kola contains a chemical called triterpenic fraction of Centella asiatica (TTFCA). TTFCA is particularly beneficial for varicose veins since it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. These connective tissues are needed to strengthen the internal lining and walls of your veins. Having stronger veins means having fewer varicose veins. Collagen and elastin are also elements of healthy skin that we lose as we age. These facts may provide added reason to believe that gotu kola can help your skin look healthier. Gotu kola may also help with venous insufficiency by reducing swelling and improving blood flow. Venous insufficiency is a medical condition in which your blood has a hard time flowing properly. It can be caused by varicose veins and can also contribute to the unsightliness of these veins.
