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.

    Dear Doctor,

    My mother is suffering from varicose vein ulcer from the last four to five years. Sometimes it heals and again it relapces. It is really painful and blood is woozing from the ulcer. My resident doctor has suggested with daily dressing and simultaneously doppler and biopsy of the area has been done. But no such varicose veins seriousness has been observed. Results shows that there is venous deseases. The varicose vein doctor( as was suggested by my local resident doctor) has alternatively thought of foaming. My question is that by homeopathy can this be treated?. My mother is 78 years old and is a sugar patient but normal. We stay at Kolkata.

    Thanks & Regards,

    SUBRATA DAS.

    Hello sir,
    I am a 19 year old boy from Nepal, Kathmandu. It all started 3 months ago.I have a grade 3 verecocele. My right testis is 36*17*28 mm and left testis is 35*17*27 mm (from ultrasound report).An urologist gave me some pain killers and due to which i am suffering from gastric and he suggested me to get operated. In my case it is something strange. I studied that though you have a verecocele you can masturbate or your penis grows or enlarges when you come into emotion. But in mine case only in the morning after i wake up my penis enlarges. And the size of the penis is bit smaller and rigid as compared to the one when i was healthier. If i try to come into emotion and enlarge my penis than my penis does not enlarges,instead the side of the penis (the veins in between penis and testis) grows big and it pains as well. i think there is some blockage in veins which pass blood to penis. But doctors says it may be due to stress as well.

    Yours sincerely,
    Amogh shakya
