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.

    Respected Sir, I’m 62 years aged person. I’m suffering from inflamation under the toe of my left leg since six months. One week back I have been instructed by an Homeopathy Pandit to smear the caster oil mixed with the asafoetida during night. First day I got some good response by this medication. But from the second day onwards, there is no such response. My feet and ankles will be in the normal size during morning raising time. Gradually, both the ankles of the feet will be swollen. Like that at my bed time the swelling of the ankles will be maximum. Again, they will be of normal size at the time of sunrise. Two months back I have been confirmed that I am having blood sugar. Now, it is controlled. It has been observed that my urine is yellowish in colour. Even now also. So, Dear Doctor, I want to know whether this unhealthyness is due to blood sugar or vericosils or due to any other reasons like artho etc. The above said Homeopathy Pandit has presecribed me the blood purifying, kidney and liver proper functioning syrups. As beneath the toe of my left foot is horrible, I have made this preamble stating all the above facts, your kind advice or theropy if any. Is it affordabe by fainancial weaker section people like me? I was taking glycomyte 500mg. before one month and stopped the tablet after consulting the above said Homeopathy Pandit as blood glucose results were normal continuing the above prescri bed syrups giving by the said Homeopathy Pandit. This is for your kind information and medical needful in this matter. Thanking You Sir, Sincerely Your’s, H.J.Suryanarayana, Mysore.
