Interested in natural remedies for spider veins? Use any of the ones mentioned below – they work!
Spider veins are tiny threads of purple and red blood vessels that can be seen on the surface of the skin. They look like bruises on the skin but when the skin is stretched, you’ll be able to see the veins.
They’re less severe than varicose veins and can be found on any part of the body including the face!
Natural remedies for spider veins do work like a charm. I’ve used them personally on my varicose veins on my thigh that looks like a purple bruise! The key is consistency here – when you massage say coconut oil on your spider vein, you’ll see results immediately BUT you have to keep up with the massage daily to see it vanish completely before your eyes!
Below, I’ll share with you 7 natural remedies for spider veins that work:
7 Natural Remedies for Spider Veins
1. Coconut Oil
When I started on the quest to get rid of the bruise-like spider vein on the side of my thigh, I used coconut oil. I’d read reviews on it being amazing for spider veins so I went to work massaging a teaspoon creamy white goodness on my spider vein for 7 minutes. And my goodness! The veins were vanishing as I massaged the coconut oil deeper and deeper (don’t use too much force because it’ll hurt). Continue this massage daily after taking a shower to get them to disappear for good!
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Another natural remedy for spider veins that shows promising results is apple cider vinegar! It is said to reduce the appearance of spider veins within 30 minutes of use. It has astringent properties so it helps improve blood circulation. And you can’t just use any apple cider vinegar, it’s best to use the one with the mother (good cultures).
The best brand to use is Braggs Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar. To use, simply pour 2 tbsp of ACV to a washcloth so it’s damp not dripping wet. Then wrap the washcloth/secure it on your spider veins. Wait for at least 30 minutes then remove the washcloth.
3. Coffee Scrub
Coffee is a diuretic which means it helps get rid of spider veins, varicose veins and cellulite by plumping up the skin and increasing its elasticity. This promotes proper blood flow in the veins. Use a coffee scrub in the shower at least every other day to reduce your spider veins. Here’s a link to my easy DIY Coffee Scrub
4. Essential Oils
Essential oils are Godsends for spider veins. Some of them are natural vasodilators that help shrink blood vessels which reduces their appearance of spider veins. A few of the best essential oils for spider veins include: cypress, rosemary, chamomile and helichrysum.
Mix 5 drops of each in ¼ cup of coconut oil and store it in a jar. Massage it for 7 minutes on your spider veins every day.
5. Witch Hazel
Witch hazel helps spider veins by tightening and shrinking them since it’s a natural astringent. It also contains compounds like gallic acid that help reduce swelling and pain.
To use witch hazel, simply apply 1-2 tsp on your spider veins three times a day. You can make a DIY varicose vein spray with witch hazel! Fill up a 2 oz spray bottle with witch hazel then add 7 drops each of cypress, rosemary and helichrysum essential oils. Spray onto the veins three times a day.
6. Vitamin E Capsules
Vitamin E is good for healing the skin naturally whether it’s bruises, scars or spider veins. It is a powerful antioxidant! Prick a vitamin E capsule then squeeze the thick oil out and rub it on your spider veins.
You can also mix vitamin E into coconut oil and apply. Don’t forget to use it internally too! Take one 400 IU Vitamin E capsule every day without fail.
7. Parsley
Yes! This humble herb in your fridge right now is good for spider veins too! You can make a paste out of it and apply it as a pack to your spider veins.
Or, make a parsley toner as follows: boil a handful of parsley and strain the water into a clean bottle. Use a cotton ball to apply the parsley toner on your spider veins several times a day.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to write this article. It’ll definitely help my family out during this period. My wife recently developed varicose vein on her thighs after giving birth to our two sons. And she is pretty insecure about her legs now. I have tried ACV but unfortunately it did not help with the condition. Was wondering if anyone tried essential oil? I have read on another blog where she was raving about how it has helped with her condition. Anyone have any positive results? I am worried that my wife is falling into depression! 🙁 anyone can verify that on the lady’s blog?
