Abstract

Varicose veins are defined as dilated, tortuous,  elongated superficial veins that cause reversal of blood flow due to valve insufficiency. Varicose veins are more common in the lower extremities due to the upright posture of the body. Varicose veins are similar to Uttana Vatarakta varicose veins in terms of etiology and symptoms. Varicose  veins also have close similarities with Siraj Granthi and Siragat Vata. We  report a case of a 35-year-old male patient who presented with lower extremity pain from the  calf to  both legs accompanied by dilated and tortuous veins on the back of the legs, discoloration, itching,  and burning. And uncomfortable. The patient was treated with Ayurvedic medications and his symptoms improved significantly. Observations and results were compiled according to the evaluation criteria. The discussion was based on all observations made during the study. Conclusions were drawn based on the results.
