Homeopathy Treatment For Varicose Veins

What are Varicose Veins?

Varicose Veins is an abnormality observed most commonly in the veins of the legs or ankles where they are observed to be swollen, enlarged, or twisted. Though the condition of varicose veins is in itself not too serious, it often leads to other health complications and diseases if not treated immediately.

This condition occurs when the valves that transmit the blood from the veins of the leg or ankles to the heart for circulation do not function properly. The excess amount of blood that is not transferred remains in these veins building up the pressure and allowing them to swell and making it large but weak.
