Varicose Veins Treatment in Ayurveda
Β A Natural & Effective Cure by Dr. Yogesh Vani
Varicose Veins Treatment in Ayurveda is a natural and effective way to manage the symptoms of enlarged, twisted veinsβcommonly visible in the legs. These arenβt just a superficial concern. They can lead to discomfort, swelling, a heavy sensation, persistent itching, and in severe cases, painful ulcers. Modern medicine uses surgical procedures along with compression therapy yet Ayurveda delivers complete natural healing solutions which treat varicose veins by addressing underlying causes and not merely symptoms.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins develop when the valves inside veins enable blood to collect which leads to inadequate blood movement toward the heart. The resulting increased pressure inside the veins causes them to expand while developing twisted shapes and their colors turn blue or purple.
Common Symptoms:
- Enlarged, rope-like, bluish-purple veins (especially in legs)
- Heaviness, pain, or burning sensation
- Swelling and fatigue, especially after standing long
- Skin discoloration, eczema, or even ulcers in chronic cases
- Night cramps or itching near veins
Ayurvedic Viewpoint: Siraja Granthi (Vein Knotting Disorder)
The traditional Ayurvedic system categorizes varicose veins as Siraja Granthi which emerges when Vata and Pitta dosha imbalances cause vein dysfunction and swelling.
- The condition results from Vata Dosha which makes vein walls dry and fragile thus affecting proper flow.
- The Pitta Dosha causes swelling through its production of heat and inflammation which makes the situation worse.
The term “Siraja” means veins or vessels while “Granthi” refers to swelling or knot. The primary objective in Ayurveda focuses on dosha harmony along with blood purification and venous restoration to stop additional harm instead of providing symptom relief.
Varicose Veins Treatment in Ayurveda by Dr. Yogesh Vani
The Varicose Veins Treatment in Ayurveda at Dr. Yogesh Vani’s clinic uses a complete approach which creates individualized plans based on your dosha imbalance and disease progression through internal herbs, detox therapies, external applications combined with dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
1. Shamana Chikitsa (Internal Herbal Medications)
The specific dosha imbalance determines the appropriate prescription of personalized medications:Β
- Kaishora Guggulu acts as both a blood purifier and an anti-inflammatory agent.
- Triphala Guggulu functions as a blood vessel strengthener while simultaneously detoxifying the blood.
- Chandraprabha Vati helps maintain proper circulation health along with supporting healthy nerve function.
- The herbal preparation Punarnavadi Kashayam functions to decrease edema together with its ability to decrease fluid buildup.
- Sahacharadi Kashayam serves to enhance muscle strength while simultaneously boosting the energy.
2. Shodhana Chikitsa (Detox & Panchakarma)
The elimination of toxins from the body together with vascular health restoration requires these methods:
- Raktamokshana (Leech Therapy) β This treatment eliminates stagnant blood which improves blood flow and decreases swelling
- Siravyadha (Venesection) β In chronic situations bloodletting helps reduce venous pressure
- Basti (Medicated Enemas) β This therapy harmonizes elevated Vata levels while promoting better gut function and enhancing vein strength
- Virechana β This mild purgation therapy targets the inflammatory effects of Pitta
The therapies provide lasting healing benefits for both chronic and ulcerated varicose vein patients.
3. External Therapies (Pain Relief & Circulation Boost)
- The application of Abhyanga (Oil Massage) using Sahacharadi Thailam together with Mahanarayan oil enhances blood circulation and minimizes stiffness in the body.
