For a treatment plan to work, it is very important to find the problem’s root cause.
First, let’s talk about what varicose veins are.
Varicose Veins: From an Ayurvedic Point of View It is a medical condition in which the veins, mostly in the legs, become swollen, twisted, and enlarged. Normally, blood flows up from the feet to the heart through the veins. The valves in the veins help the blood move up. Getting tired, standing for a long time, menopause, and a few other things can all weaken these valves. This changes the way the blood is moving and lets some of it leak back down. The veins get a bluish-brown or blue colour. There is dryness, which makes it itch like crazy.

The ayurvedic approach is the best way to treat someone because it works and has few or no side effects.
Treating varicose veins with the help of ancient Ayurvedic methodology
Ayurvedic principles say that the pain of varicose veins is caused by an imbalance of Vata (air and space), Rakta (blood), and Pitta (heat) in the body. So, bringing back the balance of Vata becomes a key part of the treatment. The vata balance is easy to fix if you live a healthy lifestyle and eat a healthy, well-balanced diet.

Ayurveda suggests the following:
- Eat lots of fresh fruits, whole grains (like oats and millets), and proteins like milk, eggs, fish, and chicken.
- Get lots of water.
- Stay away from red meat and hot foods.
- Garlic, onions, and ginger are all good for you, so eat them often.
- Citrus fruits like Amla work like magic to make a tired varicose vein feel better.
- Do not indulge in vigorous exercise or walking. Don’t soak your feet in cold water after working out because it can hurt your veins.
- Do not compromise on your sleep. Only a body that is refreshed and a mind that has had time to rest can help the healing process.
