Instructions





Things You'll Need


  • Sponge
  • Towel
  • Virgin coconut oil
  • Small saucepan


    • 1
      Clean the area where you have the spider veins with warm water, using a sponge. Pat the area dry with a clean towel.
    • 2
      Warm the coconut oil to a comfortable temperature, around 76 degrees Fahrenheit. The easiest way to do this is by immersing the bottle of massage oil in a pan of hot water until the bottle feels warm to the touch. Heat the water in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove; remove it from the heat and then add the bottle of coconut oil.
    • 3
      Gently massage the warm coconut oil into your skin for five to fifteen minutes, at least two times each day. Begin with a puddle of oil in your hand about the size of a quarter; add more if needed. There should not be any friction when massaging.

      Tips & Warnings

      • Making changes to your diet, including taking dietary supplements, can also help diminish spider veins. Add 3 ½ tbsp. of coconut oil and 16 ounces of coconut water to your daily diet and increase the amount of fiber you eat. Other recommended supplements include a daily regimen of 1000 mg vitamin C, 100 mg of grape seed extract, 500 mg of magnesium and three cayenne pepper capsules.
