Dear Bob Liebert,

I have bad varicose veins that are inflamed and painful, I have had a blood clot in the past. I bought some hawthorn yesterday to help, do you think that was a wise buy? The lady at the health food store showed me a book they have and I read about it. I was just curious if that is a good choice or if there is another herb I should try?

Thanks a lot,
Cheryl

 

Dear Friend,

The Hawthorn is more directed to arterial health, but is important too. I would very much recommend my HEMMORAID/VENOUS Formula. WITCH HAZEL extract can be applied externally.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist
