Holistic varicose vein cures and treatments include vitamins, natural supplements and circulatory aids like compression stockings. When these items are used alone, or in combination with other treatments, people often experience improvement of mild to significant varicose vein pain and irritation with these methods.

Routine Medical Treatments

Some medical procedures have been known to help cure varicose veins; these treatments include varicose vein ligation, sclerotherapy or injection therapy, laser treatment, and radio frequency treatment. With the exception of sclerotherapy, all of these treatments involve cutting the vein and removing the targeted part of the vein, tying it off or reconnecting it to restore natural blood flow.

The difference in each of the varicose vein cures is the delivery of the incision, with varicose vein ligation considered the most traditional surgery. Laser procedures and RF treatments use methods that are basically described by the devices used to make the incision and cauterize the incision site. Some methods make such tiny incisions that no stitches are required and some use several techniques, so check with your physician to determine which is best for you.

An Ounce of Prevention

Prevention, as the term indicates, serves to eliminate the need for varicose vein remedies by lowering the occurrence rate from the outset. Get a good start by eating a well balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, and avoiding sitting for long periods of time. A well balanced diet includes vitamin rich foods such as broccoli, spinach and other deep-colored green or red leafed vegetables, mango, carrots, papaya, kiwi, bananas, eggs, lean meats, fish, healthy fats and nuts. The overall diet should also have a low fat and sodium content, as well as being high in fiber.

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