Varicose veins trouble a large number of people today – often not only because of genetics, but also because of long standing, sitting, lack of exercise or pregnancy. Painful, heavy legs, swollen ankles, throbbing or night cramps – all these can be symptoms of circulation problems.
For these cases, folk medicine has for generations used a simple Russian recipe that combines two natural ingredients: brandy and rosemary.
Varicose veins: why they occur and what symptoms they have
Varicose veins develop when the small valves inside the veins weaken. Their job is to prevent the backflow of blood. If they are damaged, blood remains “trapped” in the veins, which expand and bulge under the skin. They often have a dark blue to purple color and are not only painful but also unsightly.
- heavy, tired legs
- swelling of the ankles and calves
- night cramps and throbbing
- itching, tight and dry skin
- visible broken capillaries
Recipe for a rosemary elixir with brandy
The Russian natural remedy for varicose veins uses a simple tincture of brandy and rosemary, which is applied externally in the form of massages and compresses.
Ingredients:
- 1 liter of quality brandy
- 30 g of fresh rosemary
Instructions:
Wash the rosemary, dry it and place it in a glass bottle. Pour in the brandy, seal and let it steep for 10 days in a dark place. Then filter and store in a cool, dry place. Old sprigs can later be replaced with fresh ones.
How to use the tincture for varicose veins
Massages
Rub the painful areas with the tincture and gently massage for 15 minutes, 2–3× daily. You can add a drop of natural oil for better glide and to moisturize the skin.
Compresses
Soak gauze or a cotton cloth in the tincture, apply it to the affected area and secure with a bandage. Leave on overnight. Rinse in the morning and treat with a natural ointment.
Effects of rosemary on veins and blood vessels
- reduces inflammation and vein pain
- improves blood circulation and tissue perfusion
- reduces swelling and night cramps
- strengthens vessel walls and reduces the visibility of veins
Rosemary also supports concentration, memory and mental clarity. Dried rosemary can be placed in a room as natural aromatherapy, or the essential oil can be used for massages.
Be patient – results come gradually
With regular use you may notice relief from pain, reduced swelling, less visible veins and better comfort when walking after a few weeks. The key is persistence and daily care.
Summary
If you suffer from varicose veins, leg pain or impaired circulation, this Russian recipe with brandy and rosemary can be a great natural solution. It helps safely, effectively and without side effects. Give your feet regular care – they deserve it.
