YOUR GARDEN TO THE RESCUE

Virtually all fruits and vegetables have some levels of antioxidants called flavonoids. Flavonoids like those found in grapes can reduce the perme-ability of blood vessels so the stronger blood vessels don’t leak blood and fluids into the surrounding tissue. A particular flavonoid compound called rutin has been study-proven to help strengthen capillaries and improve varicose veins. You’ll find rutin in parsley, blueberries, citrus fruits, and buckwheat. Blueberries and grapes are extra helpful because they are also good sources of capillary-strengthening anthocyanins. Poultices made of bay leaves and/or cabbage warmed in olive oil have long been used as a topical remedy to reduce varicose veins and relieve swelling.
