- What You Need: A few cloves of garlic, olive oil.
- Directions: Crush the garlic cloves and mix them with olive oil. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight. Strain the garlic pieces out, then gently massage the oil into your skin on the areas affected by varicose veins. Perform this massage in the evening, as you can leave the oil on overnight for maximum absorption.
