If you’re fearful of what the consequences may be for your health, take heart – Calendula’s powerful healing therapy continues to be a primary choice for many varicose vein sufferers who prefer natural alternatives over invasive surgical procedures. 

Calendula (in its extract form) is made from a species of marigold flower called Pot Marigold.   Its Latin name is Calendula Officinalis and its flower petals are used as a powerful healing agent for a variety of ailments. It can heal external lacerations, abrasions and skin blemishes, rashes, wounds, chapped lips, diaper rash, gum and tooth infections, hemorrhoids, sore throats and tonsillitis. 

Creams made with Calendula can reduce the inflammation associated with varicose veins and can regenerate weak, damaged veins and spider veins. because it is a powerful circulation enhancer.  It prevents the tendency for legs and ankles to swell due to pressure or exertion. There is no need to suffer needlessly with unattractive bulging and discolored varicose veins, spider veins or tired legs.  Natural alternatives are available at a price you can afford and are popular and easy to use. 

Specially formulated creams containing Calendula help varicose and spider veins fade and flatten and legs look smoother.   If you have very bad ulcerated varicose veins you can make a poultice with this Calendula cream by placing a spoonful of the cream on a bandage and leaving it on the vein overnight to heal.  Before long you will notice the healing effect and pain relief.

Since I began using Invisi-vein with Calendula extract and essential oils, I have noticed the varicose and spider veins in my legs are a lot less noticeable and are flattening out. My legs have more energy and stamina. This product was highlighted in the November, 2006 issue of Canadian Living Magazine by writer Julie Hunter.

When you get a cut, what do you do? Most people head to their medicine cabinet or the store for something to heal the cut. Before going there, consider a more natural remedy that could be around your house or as close as the neighborhood health store.

Herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years to treat everything from cuts to digestive ailments. Before there were proper manufactured medicines like we have today, there was the earth and the bounty it provided. The earth is still here and the herbal remedies are just as useful today. Herbal remedies have fewer side effects than some more modern products, and work for people with tons of allergies to medications.

Here are four common types:

1. Tea tree oil – this essential oil has been called a quintessential treatment. Tea tree oil stimulates the immune system by attacking bacteria, viruses and fungi that invade the body through all sorts of means. It can be applied to a cut to encourage healing and scar tissue formation. As soon as the wound has begun to heal, apply the oil directly to the area instead of using a bandage. The wound can heal naturally and get air at the same time.

2. Calendula – this is the name of a plant that is similar to marigolds. The leaves and the petals have been used to heal wounds. Calendula cream is sold over the counter as an anti-itch and anti-inflammatory for poison ivy. Cuts can get dry as they heal and cause itching. Inflammation makes a cut itchy and red also. A salve can be applied to healing cuts to moisturize the skin and kill any bacteria still lingering. Don’t apply calendula to infected or weeping wounds.

3. Aloe Vera – the aloe plant has long been a staple for healing. It is great for burns but also for cuts. As a cut heals it can also hurt. Taking a piece of the succulent aloe plant and rubbing it on a cut encourages circulation and healing. The juice of the plant also reduces inflammation and pain.

4. Myrrh – this plant is mentioned in the Bible. In ancient times it was used as a healing agent. The sap from the tree is beneficial as an antibacterial agent. Applying myrrh to a cut helps to speed healing in the body.

When you get a cut, consider how you will treat it to get the best and fastest healing possible. Herbal remedies allow for healing in a natural way without extra ingredients and chemicals.
