HERBAL PLANTS USED IN VARICOSE VEINS
AbstractVaricose vein is a clinical class of Chronic Venous Disease also called the varicosites. Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen and twisting veins often appearing blue or dark purple. It is more common in women than men, superficial veins of the leg are under high pressure, hence this disorder is mostly seen in the leg. The pathophysiology includes genetic components, dysfunctional valves, and weak vascular walls. In order for conservative treatments like diet, dietary, and hydrotherapy to be effective, a high level of patient compliance is needed. Interventional therapies like surgery are also used to treat varicose veins. Although varicose veins are not considered an imminent threat to life, they may interfere with regular activities and develop gradually. As a result, the current review critically assesses the possible utility of herbal medication in the treatment of varicose veins.
