Natural varicose vein remedies include vitamins, natural herbs and compounds and circulatory aids like compression stockings. By using these items either alone, or together, many people often experience relief from mild to significant varicose vein aches and tenderness with these methods.

Routine Medical Procedures

Some medical procedures have been known to help cure varicose veins; the most commonly used are vein ligation, sclerotherapy or injection therapy, laser treatment, and radio frequency treatment. With the exception of sclerotherapy, all of these treatments may cure varicose veins by cutting the vein and removing the damaged portion of the vein, tying it off or cauterizing it or reconnecting it to restore normal blood flow.

The difference in each of the varicose vein cures is the delivery method of the incision, with vein ligation considered the most traditional surgery. Laser procedures and RF treatments consist of methods that are essentially described by the modality used for performing the incision and cauterizing the incision site. Some methods make such small incisions that no stitches are required and some employ several techniques, so check with your doctor as to which is best for you.

A Measure of Prevention

Prevention, as the term indicates, can eliminate the need for varicose vein procedures by reducing the occurrence rate from the outset. Get a good start by eating a nutritious diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding sitting for long periods of time. A well balanced diet includes vitamin rich foods such as broccoli, spinach, mango, carrots, papaya, kiwi, bananas, eggs, lean meats, fish, healthy fats and nuts. The overall diet should also be low in sodium and fat, but include generous amounts of fiber.

Most varicose vein cures have a good success rate, with 85-90% of patients achieving a full recovery without complications. Varicose vein cure regimens that use compression only have also shown quite respectable success rates at between 60-75%.
