Varicose veins can be more than just a cosmetic issue—they often bring discomfort, swelling, and that heavy-leg feeling at the end of the day. But did you know that aloe vera, that green plant sitting quietly on the windowsill, could be a powerful ally against them?
This natural treasure is packed with soothing, anti-inflammatory, and circulation-boosting properties that make it a must-have in every home—especially if you’re looking for gentle, effective relief.
