Varicose Veins
July 4, 2007
For Samuel Hahnemann (the founder of homeopathy) the single most driving reason to develop homeopathy was to have a system that was completely harmless and gentle. A system that would use the body’s own innate healing powers to restore health.
The homeopathic treatment of diseases like varicose veins, which otherwise would require surgery, stand testimony to what Hahnemann preached and established. A controlled study done in Germany on 62 patients (suffering from varicose veins) about a decade ago proved the high efficacy of this system in treating this problem.
What are varicose veins?
When the blood moves back from the organs to the heart, it is carried by a network of vessels called veins. Veins are thin-walled vessels compared to the arteries (vessels that take blood from the heart to the various organs). Veins contain one-way valves every few inches to prevent the blood flowing back due to gravity. It is when these valves become weak that the blood starts pooling in the veins. Veins then become dilated (widened) and twisted, and are called varicose. Any vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in the legs and feet.
Another condition similar to varicose veins is spider veins .They are usually smaller, bluish and are closer to the skin’s surface. They occur mostly on legs and at times can be found on the face too. They often look like a spider’s web or a tree branch.
The symptoms
For many people, varicose veins and spider veins are diseases of cosmetic concern only. But for others it can be more than just a cosmetic problem; symptoms commonly found in those suffering from varicose veins are pain, achiness, heaviness, burning, throbbing, muscle cramping and swelling in lower legs. Sitting and standing for a long period tends to increase all the symptoms. Veins appear as enlarged, snake-like, blue veins and are most easily seen under the skin while standing. Itching may be present around the enlarged veins. Skin ulcers at ankle, whenever present, indicate a sever form of varicose veins.
Though each case of varicose veins represents itself as an individual one and needs to be treated accordingly, homoeopathic medicines Calcarea flour and Acid flour stand at the top of the table for treating varicose veins. Calcarea flour not only clears the symptoms but also eradicates the tendency for developing varicose veins. Calcarea Iodatum works extremely well for ulcers accompanying varicose veins. Hamemelis and Vipera are indicated when there is acute inflammation in the veins often called phlebitis.

Hi Dr. Sharma,
What homepathic treatments do you suggest for treating varicose veins?

I am a 62 year old woman and it pains me to say that I suffer from leg ulcer. I cannot even put socks on, that’s how terrible it is. I cannot even go out and enjoy some fresh air. It would be amazing if the doctors cold invent a pill that would miraculously take care of the problem. But until then, I can only wait and hope for the best. I welcome the idea of a venous disease forum on the internet. I cannot go outside anyway, so I spend my time surfing the internet and hoping to find some help.

Everyone, On BBC2’s new show Grow your own Drugs, Botanist James Wong made a topical gel from horse chestnuts (conkers) to very good effect. I was amazed by the results his testers got from two weeks of use so I bought the book to make the gel for my Mum (and one day me, I’m sure)
You can find it here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grow-Your-Own-Drugs-Remedies/dp/0007307136
Good luck!

Sir,
I have got varicose vein in my right leg (calf muscle) and also spider vein in foot.Initialy i was thinking of a surgery but finally i went for Homeopathy based on my family doctors advise.Its already 1month i started taking tratement.Doctor has prescribed Acetic acid tablet and asked to take once in a week.In 2nd week i found that the swelling was aggrevating and i experienced pricking type of pain.In 4th week i felt that the swelling has slighty come down.Doctor said that its a sign of medicine working and said it will come down.I want to know whether Homeopathic treatment will completely cure varicose vein and in future will it reoccur.Kindly guide me.
Dear doctor.
I am 29 years old and have a 7 year old daughter. My legs have always been uneasy when I was forced to sit for long periods of time, but over the last year, I started noticing spider veins on my legs (on the feet, calf and the back part of the legs above my knees). Also, one slightly bulging vein appeared on my left calf which is getting worse over time. I do not only worry about it for cosmetic reasons, but mainly because my legs always feel tired, “loaded”, heavy and I cannot sit for prolonged periods of time (or stand). There is also pain sometimes coming from the inside part of my lower thigh down to the calf of the leg on which the bulging vein is. Sun tanning makes the pain much worse. I think my circulation in the lower body is bad in general because when I sit at work, the part of thighs on which I sit gets very uncomfortable, I always feel that I need to move around, stand, move my legs, walk, flex my muscles, etc. Kindly advise what course of action I would need to take in order to cure this and possibly prevent this from happening in the future. Can homeopathy do anything for me? Can the result be sustained?
Thank you.
