Step 1 – Prepare the Fruit
Cut the pomegranate in half.

Step 2 – Blend
Place the seeds into a blender.
Blend for 15–20 seconds until the juice is released.

Important Note
Pomegranate is a healthy fruit, but it will not restore circulation overnight, remove varicose veins, or “force blood flow back into your legs.” If you have persistent leg pain, swelling, cold feet, non-healing wounds, or worsening varicose veins, consult a healthcare professional. These symptoms can indicate underlying circulation problems that require proper diagnosis and treatment.
