How to cure varicose veins naturally without having surgery?

Comprehensive : You need a comprehensive approach to treating your lifelong, inherited disorder that has caused your varicose veins. It is easier now; no vein stripping anymore. Herbal medicines like venastat, rutin, reservatrol, and other antioxidants and antiinflammatory meds and prescription medical compression stockings can slow down the process and help the pain, heaviness, tired, restless symptoms.

No cure: Unfortunately, there is no natural or surgical "cure" for varicose veins. As dr. Morrison said, having varicose veins is lifelong. It can be controlled with treatment but it will never go away. Although there are supplements that might make your legs feel better and help any swelling, if you want your veins to go away, you will need to have treatment but surgery is no longer needed.

Natural Rx for veins: A support stocking and leg elevation will help but won't fix failed vein valves. No natural treatments I am aware of will replace a failed vein valve or reverse the reflux coming down an incompetent greater saphenous vein.

None that works.: Varicose veins are due to leaking valves in the saphenous vein system. There is a strong hereditary component. There are many potential home remedies such as horse chestnut, diosmin, escin and certain kinds of berries but none of these work. If you have varicose veins, then you should see a vein specialist for a f/u venous evaluation including a venous ultrasound.
