The best essential oil that supports the the movement of blood is helichrysum. Massaging this essential oil on location, towards the heart nightly would be a great regimen to use.

You may like to add any or all of the essential oils listed below:

• Cypress (great for circulation)

• Wintergreen (blood thinning properties)

• Clove (blood thinning properties)

• Lemon (great for circulation)

• Geranium (supports blood flow)

You could use the above essential oils in blends and apply 3-6 times a day. make sure one application is done just before bed.
