Symptoms:
Open sores which develop on poorly appearing skin areas of the legs.

Cause:
Leg ulcers occur when the blood circulation to the legs is inadequate. Skin tissue tends to erode and ulcers can form. Individuals with varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, or other conditions caused by poor circulation are most likely to develop this problem.

Treatment:
• Eat a light nourishing diet with adequate vitamins and minerals. Much of it should be raw. Leafy, dark green vegetables and garlic are important.

• Do not eat meat, and avoid alcohol and nicotine!

• Make a gallon of goldenseal tea (stronger than you would drink); and, after straining out the herb, put the leg in it for an hour. When finished, let it dry for 10 minutes; apply olive oil in, and around, the ulcer. Dust a little powdered goldenseal on it. If needed to keep out insects, put a light gauze bandage over it while letting the air in. It will heal, but slowly. As much as two months may be required.
