Remedies for Varicose Veins

Ginkgo is one of the oldest living tree species, a 'living fossil.' It has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years to improve brain function and treat respiratory problems. In modern times, it is most famous for its ability to enhance blood flow, particularly to the brain and extremities.

Despite its name, it is not related to the edible chestnut. Native to the Balkan Peninsula, Horse Chestnut was introduced to the rest of Europe and used traditionally to treat 'heavy legs,' swelling, and vein problems. It became a primary herbal treatment for chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins.
