Varicose and Spider Veins

Got 'em?  Do yours hurt?  I have quite a few spider veins and a few varicose veins, which do hurt a little.  I asked my Dermatologist about them and the recommended treatment is to use needles to collapse them.  I don't know about you, but I'm NOT a fan of needles and don't typically go looking to get pricked with them unless absolutely necessary.  I have been dabbling in essential oils for over a year and have recently kicked it up a notch or twelve.  I found a spider/varicose vein diminisher blend on Pinterest and have been using it for a little over a month now.  The blend consists of a 10ml glass roller bottle that I purchased from Amazon, 40 drops of Lemongrass, 20 drops of Cypress and 10 drops of Helichrysum topped off with a carrier oil (fractionated coconut or V-6 oil).  The directions are to apply the mixture to the veins two times per day for a month and then once a day.  I have only been applying it once a day because it is a bit strong smelling.  I neglected to take a before picture to share and honestly, it's not pretty.  Anyway, I have actually noticed some results.  I did seek a second opinion from my husband and third opinion from my mom.  They both agreed that there was some change in appearance.  I will continue to update the results and may post a picture.
