No one has yet mentioned horse chestnut, which has done wonders for me. I had quite bad CVI (chronic venous insufficiency) and my lower legs and feet were in a bad state. Pressure socks helped but horse chestnut actually seems to strengthen the veins and reduce their porosity, as well as acting on my toes where the socks were ineffective. It is recommended for varicose veins and the like, and also at least helps with hemorrhoids.
