Abstract A varicose vein, also known as a ‘Spider vein’, is a dilated, tortuous vein in the subcutaneous tissue of the legs that appears blue or dark purple in colour. These veins are visible and can be easily diagnosed clinically. When valves in the vein do not work properly, the blood does not flow effectively. The expansion of varicose vein is often caused by a weakening of walls and valves. Varicose veins are usually found asymptomatic however it may result in heaviness in the limb, local pain, change in the color, dryness, itching and may develop ankle swelling including cramps. Conditions that increase pressure on leg veins such as sedentary life style, obesity, lack of activity or exercise, menopause, hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, smoking, heavy weight lifting may lead to varicose veins.Varicose vein can be co-related to Siraja Granthi as described in Ayurvedic scriptures. In Ayurvedic Samhitas, many single drugs, formulations and Panchkarma therapies are beneficial in managing varicosity without side any effects. Raktamokshanais the main line of treatment of Siraja Granthi. Shringa, Jalauka, Alabu, Pracchana, Siravedha, Ghati Yantra are types of Raktamokshana.1Siravedha isa Ardhachikitsa in Shalyatantra.2Raktamokshana through Jalaukavacharana is the preferred option on account of its simplicity, supreme therapy (Paramsukumarupay) in Siraja Granthi.3
Although it is not a severe problem, having a but continuous pain causes disturbance in daily life style.
