Mix a few handfuls of nettles with regular lard: The biggest help with varicose veins!

By Lilia

Nettle is a very useful plant both for health and in the garden as a fertilizer and against various pests. 

Nettle tea is an amazing health remedy. 

Nettle helps with various skin problems and especially with people who suffer from varicose veins.

It’s a cure for varicose veins that grows right under your nose.

My grandmother used the whole nettle, from the stem to the leaves and flowers.

She used it to make fertilizer for the garden, spray against pests and knew how to use it perfectly for health.

For example, I drink nettle tea to this day, it’s great for strong immunity.

You must have studied about its wonderful effects.

In addition to tea, it is good to know about the effect of nettle on the skin – in first aid for any skin problems, and it will definitely be one of the most useful against varicose veins!

Ointment with nettle is excellent for the prevention and treatment of varicose veins – it has a relaxing and anti-inflammatory effect, has a beneficial effect on psoriasis and external injuries,

Ointment against varicose veins and leg swelling

Excellent for people who notice the appearance of varicose veins, as well as those who already have them and may be at risk of additional health complications.

However, it is also suitable for those who want to avoid varicose veins (prevention).

The ointment has an anti-inflammatory effect and has an astringent and healing effect.

I recommend it for people who stand or sit for a long time at work.

It is also excellent for swelling and heaviness in the legs.

The ointment also fights rheumatic pains.

We need:

5 heaped spoons of finely chopped nettle (leaves) – if not fresh, can be dried

100 g unsalted lard

Preparation:

Add the nettles to the melted unsalted lard and let it simmer until it becomes a paste (similar to a classic custard).

Apply to the skin several times a day.

Before applying, it is good to wipe the affected area with a cotton pad soaked in lukewarm chamomile tea.

Heals wounds, bruises, chapped or otherwise damaged skin.

The second recipe

250 g of coconut oil is dissolved in a water bath and sprinkled with three handfuls of fresh nettle leaves, washed and finely chopped.

Let the liquid simmer until it thickens.

Remove the pot from the heat and let the nettles in the coconut oil sit until the next day.

Then rewarm it in a water bath and strain the ointment through a cloth into a clean jar.

If you want a warming salve, it is advisable to add hot pepper to the hot fat.
