With summer comes the time to show off your legs. However, before doing so, it is advisable to take certain measures so that, in addition to being beautiful, they appear healthy despite the heat.
The legs need special care to promote circulation, avoid heaviness and other discomforts that appear at the end of the day, when we get home. Fortunately, in the field of medicinal plants we find safe and effective solutions. According to a survey by INFITO (Phytotherapy Research Center), plants intended to alleviate venous problems in the legs are among the most in demand. As it is a chronic problem, it is important to be consistent and alternate periods of treatment with periods of rest.
Just remember this strange word: phlebotonics. They are natural compounds extracted from plants with toning activity in veins and capillaries. They are effective both to improve symptoms and to stop their evolution.
