If your legs feel heavy and achy at day's end, your problem could be chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Caused by sluggish circulation and weak vein walls that leak fluid into surrounding tissues, CVI can lead to varicose veins and spider veins. You can get relief with horse chestnut (aesculus hippocastanum). This proven remedy works by strengthening blood vessel walls, which reduces leakage and improves blood flow to the heart.
Other Benefits: Prevents foot and ankle swelling after a long period of sitting, such as on a long flight.
