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.

सर मेरे दोनों पेरों में वेरिकोस वेन्स है , सीधे पैर मे ज्यादा है एडवांस स्टेज है अलसर भी बन गया था मेँ पाँच महीने से आयुर्वेदिक ट्रीटमंट ले रहा हूँ । वहाँ मेरी लीच थेरेपी चल रही है जिससे मुझे बहुत आराम है । उससे मेरा अलसर भी ठीक हो गया है और pain, cramping, heating & itching सब खत्म हो गया है। Discoloration and Eczema थोड़ा रह गया है। फटी स्किन भी ठीक हो गयी है। लकीन नसों में स्वेल्लिंग है पर दर्द नहीं है पर दो हफ़्तों से इसी पैर की राइट साइड मे ऐसा फील होता था जैसे कि कोई फ्लुइड नीचे कि ओर चल रहा है और बाहर कोई वजन लटका हुआ है लकिन अब थोड़ा आराम भी पड़ रहा है। लेफ्ट पाँव मे भी वेरिकोसे वेंस है नसें भी बीच बीच मे से फूली हुई दिखती है पर एडवांस स्टेज नहीं बनी है। कृपया बताएं सर इसके इलाज के बारे में । होम्योपथी मे यह कैसे ठीक होगा। अलोपथी मे तो सीधे पाँव की सर्जरी बोल दिया था। पर सब कहते है कि सर्जरी नहीं करवानी चाहिए क्या यह ठीक है? ईसके प्रीकोशन भी बताएं। धन्यवाद (मेरी उम्र 47 साल है )

Suffering from varicose veins and to much pain in legs and veins are looking blue
Wow, I think you will be a great OB. It seems like you have a real love for children, filemais, and people in general. Sad to say that those qualities are rare traits in todays world. I believe not just anyone should be in just any job because you could be in a job that you hate and end up making everyone who comes in contact with you at work miserable. You have the joy and care to be great at your job and effect those you will be working around not only by your knowledge , but by your love for what you do.
Sir I am 50year,s isuffar my right testical vain small part very hard & pain pl refar medision to me
