Abstract

Herbal medicine is a natural remedy for all the disease. Varicose veins are dilated, tortuous, elongated superficial veins that are usually seen in the legs. A large UK population study has shown age adjusted prevalence‘s of 40% in men and 32% in women, although women more often are getting affected by varicose veins. The patient will come across various signs and symptoms and diagnosis to find out the problem and get prescribed to some of allopathic medicines which are harmful to humans. Furthermore, in spite of substantial progress in the study of the biological and physical manifestations of kidney stones, there is no satisfactory drug to use in clinical therapy in the management of varicose veins. The present review therefore critically evaluates the potential usefulness of herbal medicines in the management of varicose veins.
