Feeling a bit heavy as the temperatures start to rise? Don’t worry! June’s herbal tea, Aiming for Light Legs, will help you lighten up. This refreshing blend combines blackcurrant, red vine, hibiscus and orange blossom to accompany you every morning and keep your legs toned all month long.
Let’s discover the magic of these plants together. With the first signs of heat, many people suffer from heavy legs. In summer, the heat dilates the veins and slows venous return. The result: circulation becomes more difficult and the legs feel heavy.
To stimulate circulation, get moving regularly! Walking, aqua aerobics or aqua biking activate the muscular pump and tone up the legs. These activities improve the link between muscles and veins, which are essential for good circulation.
And of course, remember to keep well hydrated throughout the day. A balanced lifestyle keeps your legs light and promotes overall health. Being overweight increases the risk of varicose veins, as well as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and weight-related cancers.
To help you, Soin et Nature has selected this circulatory herbal tea. Discover the benefits of its key ingredients.
Blackcurrant: an ally for your circulation
Blackcurrant, also known as black currant, supports venous circulation and microcirculation. It is suitable for minor vascular disorders and high blood pressure.
Its anthocyanins strengthen blood vessel walls and limit inflammation. These combined actions relieve heavy legs and improve venous vitality.
Precautions for use: Blackcurrant is for adults only . Pregnant or breast-feeding women should avoid it, for lack of sufficient data. In the event of heart or kidney disease, seek the advice of a health professional, as it may increase urinary volume or interfere with certain treatments.
Red vine: natural venous support
Red vine offers recognised support for chronic venous insufficiency. The EMA (European Medicines Agency) confirms its effectiveness in reducing swollen legs, varicose veins and venous fatigue.
Its leaves relieve feelings of heaviness, pain and cramps, as well as disorders linked to haemorrhoids or capillary fragility. Before use, consult a doctor to rule out a more serious cause.
Precautions for use: avoid using red vine during pregnancy and in the event of anticoagulant or anti-platelet treatment.
Hibiscus: a beneficial flower
Hibiscus has a seductive colour, a tangy taste and medicinal properties. It helps to regulate blood pressure thanks to its anthocyanins, which facilitate vasodilatation and relaxation of the blood vessels.
Rich in flavonoid antioxidants, it reduces inflammation and improves microcirculation. Drinking an infusion of hibiscus helps to prevent venous fatigue and keep your legs feeling light.
Bitter orange: the draining citrus fruit
Bitter Orange promotes lymphatic drainage and the elimination of toxins. Its flavonoids and essential oils support the kidneys and reduce water retention.
It also helps to strengthen the vein walls and improve the elasticity of the vessels. The result: improved circulation and a feeling of lightness, particularly during hot weather. Its slightly bitter flavour and delicate aroma add a refreshing touch to the herbal tea. With its draining and toning effect, it is an essential ingredient in this summer infusion.
In short, this June herbal tea combines pleasure, lightness and circulatory well-being. Get moving, stay hydrated and let nature help you get your legs back in shape!
