Other ways to use lemon for varicose veins
Besides drinking lemon infusion, here are other methods for using lemon against varicose veins:
Lemon water
Start your day with a glass of warm water with the juice of half a lemon. This helps eliminate toxins and boost your metabolism.
Topical application
You can apply lemon juice directly to your varicose veins. Cut a lemon in half and gently rub it on the affected areas for a few minutes. The citric acid in the lemon can help strengthen your blood vessels. Be careful not to do this before sun exposure, as it can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.
Lemon essential oil
Mix a few drops of lemon essential oil with a carrier oil such as coconut oil and massage it into your legs. This can help improve circulation and reduce the appearance of varicose veins. Avoid sun exposure immediately afterward.
