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.

The latest research in Yoga for Varicose veins is :- Do jogging on your toes (100 steps twice a day) preferably on a soft Jute / wollen /cotton mat (rather than on hard floor). For those who can afford to do, there are certain Yogic asanas, one being bajrasana. There are effective medicines in Homeopathy like Calc Fluor and Mother Tincture Hamamelis Q. In Ayurveda, there are effective medicines like Guggul along with Mahamanjishtadi Kwath (syrup). However advice you to take these under medical advice. Pressure stockings and sleeping with feet raised under pillow are preventive measures.

Please understand there is magic medicine for vericose vein associted problems. Best is to prevent enlargement of vien by using good quality stocking something like STRUVA 35( Rs 2500 for a pair). Always try to keep your leg elevated may be a pillow under your leg during sleep.
CALC. FLOUR 6X at early stage may help . If you are fed up with suffering of vericose vein you may opt for Lasermicro surgery which may cost you around 70000/ for both leg.
So i suggest prevention is the best cure.
