ABSTRACT
The term ‘varicose’ refers to a dilated or swollen vein. Varicose veins are caused by a backflow of blood in the veins, causing them to become excessively bloated, twisted, and dilated. The veins of the legs are usually affected by varicose veins. Blood channels that convey deoxygenated blood from the legs to the heart are veins. Valves are structures that prevent blood from flowing backward. These valves become weak due to vigorous activities requiring prolonged standing, weight carrying, or long-distance walking, leading
blood flow to reverse direction, producing swelling and dilatation in the veins. Varicosity in veins can be caused by various factors, including obesity, diabetes, pregnancy, and hypertension. Varicose veins are a common vascular disorder characterized by dilated,
tortuous veins resulting from venous insufficiency, leading to symptoms such as pain, swelling, heaviness, and cosmetic concerns. In Ayurveda, varicose veins can be correlated with conditions involving vitiation of Vata and Rakta, leading to impaired circulation and
vessel deformity.
