HORSE CHESTNUTS: The key ingredient is horse chestnuts. Horse chestnuts' astringent properties are what make it great for toning vein walls which, when slack or distended, can become varicose or a problem. Horse chestnuts also help to reduce fluid retention by increasing the permeability of the capillaries and allowing excess fluid back into the circulatory system.

HELICHRYSUM: Helichrysum has been established in various studies to have strong abilities to lower inflammation due to several mechanisms: inflammatory enzyme inhibition, free radical scavenging activity and corticoid-like effects.

ALOE VERA: Studies have shown that the chemical compound C-glucosyl chromone, typically found in aloe vera gel, may provide a potent activity against inflammation. This compound directly slows down the body's ability to produce hormones that cause pain and trigger inflammation. Compounds such as the sugars found in Aloe vera may help your skin retain moisture. They allow the production of collagen, which can help maintain the skin's elasticity and slow down the development of wrinkles. Aloe vera's rich amino acid content has also been known to help tighten pores and treat skin dryness.

WITCH HAZEL: Witch hazel is widely known for its ability to ease inflammation and soothe sensitive skin. Witch hazel contains many compounds with potent anti-inflammatory properties, including gallic acid and tannins. It also contains antioxidants that help prevent widespread inflammation and neutralize free radicals, which are disease-causing compounds that can build up in your body

YARROW: A study found that an ointment containing 5% yarrow extract was able to significantly speed up wound healing. This effect was attributed to its ability to quicken the growth of new tissue and collagen, a protein that gives structure to your skin and makes it firm. Native Americans and early settlers had medicinal uses for yarrow, too. They used yarrow for its astringent qualities that made it effective in wound healing and its ability to stop bleeding. Yarrow is especially valuable for distended veins and capillaries. It is believed to tighten and firm blood vessels and clear blood congestion. These properties are believed to be helpful for treating hemorrhoids, varicose veins and bruises.

LAVENDER: Lavender is perhaps the most well-known of the essential oils and for good reason. Lavender essential oil is renowned for its many beneficial properties, including promoting calm, relaxation, and being a nervous tension reliever. It can also help reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles and help soothe alterations in skin integrity, such as during sun exposure, a minor cooking burn, relieves itching and is great for sensitive skin.

CALENDULA:

Is a powerful antioxidant. Is one the strongest antiviral herbs. Has extremely strong anti-inflammatory properties. Helps to speed wound healing. Has powerful antimicrobial properties.

TALLOW: Healthy fats are beneficial AND essential when it comes to our overall health, starting at a cellular level.

Not only is grass-fed beef tallow a healthy cooking fat, but it also acts as a topical superfood for the skin!

Tallow contains high concentrations of fat soluble vitamins A, D, and K which are only found in animal products and  have a profound impact on skin and overall health.

Grass-fed tallow also contains vitamin E (four times as much as grain-fed cows!), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which is anti-inflammatory as well as palmitoleic acid which has natural antimicrobial properties.

• Vitamin A – Encourages the production of collagen, elastin and healthy skin cells and strengthens tissue to keep skin firm, smooth and youthful while helping to heal skin issues ranging from acne to aging.

• Vitamin D – Contributes to skin cell development, repair, metabolism and immune function and protects and rejuvenates skin by protecting against free radicals that cause premature aging.

• Vitamin K – Plays an important role in skin tone, texture and overall health and soothes skin inflammation and irritations while helping to speed up the healing process.

• Vitamin E – Powerful antioxidant that repairs and reverses free radical damage and deeply hydrates and promotes healing in skin’s appearance.

Tallow is incredibly effective in improving skin cell health due to the similar makeup it has to human skin. Our cell membranes are made up of mostly fatty acids, with at least 50% being saturated fats. Tallow is also made up of about 50% saturated fats – with the remaining amount being monounsaturated – making it compatible with our cell biology and powerfully nourishing for our cell health.

DIRECTIONS:

Apply to affected area several times a day or as needed. You should gently massage this salve into the affected varicose vein up toward the heart.
