Varicose Veins

image 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.

    I am a 55 yrs old female from India, I have been suffering from Hidradenititis Supurrativa'(Hidradenitis is a chronic and stubborn skin disease centred on inflammation of the large specialised sweat glands (apocrine glands) that are found mainly in the armpits and groin area. These areas show a distinctive mixture of boil-like lumps, areas leaking pus, and scarring,which can be itchy, but usually painful, and the lumps hurt if they are pressed. Aside from the pain and unpleasantness of the condition, it can also be embarrassing and unsightly, which can be difficult to treat, HS is a chronic condition which is managed rather than cured and can unfortunately flare up again even after it has appeared to improve.) more about this condition can be found on the internet.

    I also have very bad facial skin ie. I have a lot of subcutaneous fat globules.

    I also have a very bad case of Varicose Veins (subcutaneous) I had Foam Sclerotherapy done in 2012 Nov but am back to square 1 again.

    My other problems are Insomnia, Excess Weight and syncope problem due to irregular beating of auricles and ventricles.

    I would be happy if you can suggest some Homeopathic Medicines to help me.

    Thanks and Regards

    Hello Sir.
    I am 43 years old and having two children. My mother is having the varicose vein problem. So I am also having varicose veins for 10 years. I have had the Stripping out veins surgery in 2008 on my left leg and using compressed stockings from feet to below the knee for both the legs(I am not using on regular basis). On my right leg the veins are visible on my above the inner knee and also have the pigmentation (black) on my right leg above the ankle and inner knee. I feel tiredness and heaviness on both the legs and also having knee pain if I stand for more than 30 minutes with out stockings. With stockings I don’t feel any problem for hours. But it is difficult to maintain. Since stockings are visible on feet, most of the time I have to avoid wearing stockings and happened to stand for more than hours. I am looking for the permanent solution to get rid of this varicose veins.
    Sir, it would be grateful to you to advise on this and suggestion to take Homeopathy medication. Thank you. Viji.G.
